ICIMOD’s work is aligned with its Strategy and Results Framework (SRF), which is periodically revised and translated into a five-year road map called the Medium-Term Action Plan (MTAP). ICIMOD’s fourth Medium-Term Action Plan (MTAP-IV) for the period 2018–2022 has been prepared following the overall direction contained in the revised Strategic and Results Framework 2017. The MTAP-IV provides ICIMOD with a road map for the next five years to implement our long-term regional programmes.
