Development Can't Wait

In spite of humanity’s significant advancements in science, technology and institutionalization of universal human rights conventions in the last seven decades, many countries are still failing to achieve successful development results. Consequently, enormous levels of inequality, poverty, and malnutrition prevail.

ISDP works with governments, international organizations, and civil society to craft policies that will ensure equitable development for all.
