To support enabling, sustainable, and resilient mountain development for improved and equitable livelihoods, ICIMOD recognizes the private sector as a fundamental stakeholder. As a major driver of economic growth in the region, the private sector can provide jobs, create stable incomes, and enhance livelihood opportunities for mountain people in the Hindu Kush Himalayas. ICIMOD believes that as users of mountain resources, the private sector also has a critical role in ensuring the long-term green economic growth of the region, as well as the protection of its invaluable resources and biodiversity.
