International Sustainable Development Institute (ISDI)
In order to facilitate the replication of ADIRE’s JABA development model to surrounding areas and internationally, it has been decided to set up an ISDI in the village itself. The Institute will carry out in-depth research on the most appropriate clean development technologies, infrastructure, and social issues. The Institute will also take a leadership role in advocating its most economically and socially efficient results with the aid agencies, government, and international climate change debates.
Some research efforts supporting ISDI are based on the following studies:
