Welcome to ISDCM website. You will be glad to know that our website has been updated providing all essential information about ISDCM. Some reports, documents, guideline and policies have also been added which may be interest to many of our partners, well-wishers, donors and stakeholders.

It may be relevant to say a few words about ISDCM. It was established in 1997. Since inception ISDCM has been contributing towards overall socio economic development in Bangladesh. Some of the studies conducted by ISDCM have contributed towards changes in policy direction of the development programs. Survey on socio economic conditions of working children of seafood industries funded by ILO helped formulate policy on eradication of child labor in Bangladesh. A study on the working of arsenic mitigation committees at different levels has helped UNICEF and the government of Bangladesh to reformulate the terms of references of the committees and reduction of number of committees at various levels. Besides, reports on evaluation of microfinance program, health, education, leadership on empowerment in various development projects conducted by ISDCM have been very useful in determining the direction of the programs.

ISDCM with its limited capacities has also contributed towards fulfillment of Mid-Decade Goals (MDGs) in line with the commitment of the government of Bangladesh. It has contributed to achieve the MDGs in i) eradication of extreme poverty and hunger ii) achieving universal primary education iii) promotion of gender equality and empowering women iv) reducing child mortality v) improving maternal health. Attempts are also on towards Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Our effort will be successful if our information serves your interest and purpose.

Thank you all

President, ISDCM
