The International Center for Human Development (ICHD) (Armenian: Մարդկային զարգացման միջազգային կենտրոն) is a think tank and non-governmental organization in Armenia.[1][2][3] It was established in March 2000 and is headquartered in Yerevan.[4]
The ICHD undertakes various projects and activities in the areas of regional integration and peacebuilding; civil society strengthening; good governance and transparency; economic development; local governance, migration, primary health care; and culture.[4] The ICHD also supports the European integration of Armenia and seeks to accelerate Armenia’s integration with the European Union. The ICHD supports the goals and initiatives of the Eastern Partnership.[5]
The ICHD maintains a partnership agreement with the Armenian Atlantic Association. Both structures support the strengthening of relations between NATO and Armenia.[5]
Since 2007, the ICHD is a member of the PASOS network of independent think-tanks in Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia.[4]
The Global Think Tank Index ranked ICHD among the 25 top think tanks in Eastern Europe in 2008[6] and among the top 30 in Central and Eastern Europe in 2009.[7]
