Welcome to CISD
There are approximately three hundred seventy million indigenous people in the world, especially tribal and nomadic people that face cultural, social, and economic deprivation.
The Center for International Study and Development (CISD) seeks to bridge the gap between tribal, nomadic, and indigenous people and the globlizing world. The first priority of CISD is to understand those forces which deprive groups of their land, resources, and cultural identity. Next, we aim to apply that research to craft holistic development projects which address the unique challenges faced by these populations.
