ICIMOD Annual Report 2024

2024 was a year marked by record-breaking temperatures, with political and economic headwinds, rising needs and development challenges. As part of ICIMOD’s commitment to reform, so as to meet current and future volatility, the year saw the centre increase the focus, impact, and monitoring of our programmatic work, and continue the reform of our internal operations in line with our commitments in our ‘Strategy 2030: Moving Mountains’. We closed 2024 with diversified funds and a funding increase of 10%, stronger ties with regional member countries, an expanded list of strategic partnerships, and greater rigour in how we track our progress. Thanks to this collective effort, made possible with the support of partners in our region and beyond, our regional governments, and our donors, ICIMOD began 2025 – the midway point in our 2023–26 ‘medium-term action plan’ cycle – well positioned to seize future opportunities, as well as to meet future challenges – challenges that 2025 has already brought.
