Description: Organization founded in 1981 The International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) is a regional intergovernmental learning and knowledge sharing centre serving the eight regional member countries of the Hindu Kush Himalaya – Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, India, Myanmar, Nepal, and Pakistan – and based in Kathmandu, Nepal. Globalization and climate change have an increasing influence on the stability of fragile mountain ecosystems and the livelihoods of mountain people. ICIMOD aims to assist mountain people to understand these changes, adapt to them, and make the most of new opportunities, while addressing upstream-downstream issues. - From the website 2018.10.23

Description: Organization founded in 1996 Hindu Kush Himalayan - Flow Regimes from International Experimental and Network Data (HKH-FRIEND) project is one of eight regional groups under the FRIEND project of the UNESCO/IHP (Project 1.1: Application methods of Hydrological Analyses using Regional Data Sets). The project brings together scientists and researchers from eight countries in the Hindu-Kush Himalayan (HKH) region – Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, India, Nepal, Myanmar and Pakistan. The region, extending over 3500 km from Afghanistan in the west to Myanmar in the east, represents an important source of water for nearly 500 million people with mighty rivers such as the Indus, Ganges, Mekong and Brahmaputra all rising within the Himalayan region. Its aim is to develop a better understanding of hydrological variability and similarity across different regions through the mutual exchange of data, knowledge and techniques. Such knowledge is vital to improve practical water resource and flood design methods and in developing scenarios for environmental change. Capacity building is an important part of the project in regional countries. - From the website 2018.10.23
