Australia has been a valued partner of ICIMOD since 2008, supporting efforts to strengthen climate resilience, water security, sustainable livelihoods, and inclusive development across the Hindu Kush Himalaya. Over the years, this partnership has evolved from broad support for ICIMOD’s regional programmes to targeted investments in climate-resilient development in Nepal through the ongoing “Building capabilities for green, climate-resilient and inclusive development” (HI-GRID) project.
