ISDM aims to establish the domain of Development Management by catalysing a vibrant, and global ecosystem of ideas, institutions and individuals, comprising social purpose organisations, organisations that support the sector, pioneering development practitioners, leading voices in the sector, and eminent academicians for Development Management.
We believe that to change the way social purpose organisations are led and managed, it is important to catalyse a vibrant and global ecosystem of ideas, institutions and individuals for development management. This necessitates an approach which leverages the power of “collective wisdom, collective philanthropy” to catalyse the entire ecosystem for Development Management.
We aim to create that ecosystem through our partnerships and collaborations involving social purpose organisation, organisations that support the sector, pioneering development practitioners, leading voices in the sector and eminent academicians.
Over the years, we have been fortunate to have distinguished advisors and well-wishers who always have been by our side in offering their unwavering support and being our guiding light in all endeavours.
We have established strategic partnerships with several leading ecosystem organisations, philanthropies and donor organisations who have been supporting our work and vision.
