FEATURED PROJECT: PAKISTAN

Pakistan Floods of 2010...

In July and August of 2010 a slow moving disaster began rolling south through the Indus River Valley Basin in eastern Pakistan. According to Pakistani government, fully 1/5 of the country was at one point under water with 20 million people directly affected and 2 million homes and vast acreages of crops destroyed. Pakistan has now announced that as of January 31st the relief phase of its operations would come to an end, despite the fact that 4 million people remain homeless.

Mission Statement

Our mission is to apply sustainable principles to development projects around the world in order to impact world development through practical projects that meet local needs and that are: community focused, environmentally friendly, financially healthy, and replicable. We recognize that development is ongoing, and most rapidly in developing countries – ICSD seeks to engage communities and nations in the sustainable development process. ICSD brings international financial resources as well as US technology and expertise to aid individual communities or cities or national governments in designing and executing development projects. We are committed to promoting sustainable technologies and methodologies. The Center offers technical assistance and training. With the great access to many U.S. sustainable technologies, ICSD acts as a broker for technology application.
