Environment
Economic Growth with Sustainability
Sustained poverty alleviation demands that interventions be environmentally sustainable and economically viable. IDE understands the linkage between poverty and the environment, and we design projects that fit within sustainable natural resource limits. Accordingly, IDE does the following:
Uses GIS-based natural resource analyses and boundary definition tools for project design
Applies a watershed perspective to project evaluation
Applies an environmental impact assessment methodology identifying potential environmental risks to plan for monitoring and mitigation
Incorporates natural resource analyses into technology research and development
