International Child Development Initiatives

Welcome to the website of International Child Development Initiatives (ICDI). We are a knowledge organization in psychosocial development of children and young people growing up in difficult circumstances. ICDI believes in the power of children and young people, supporting their rights and addressing the underlying causes for the problems they face. We invite you to discover more about our work!

Make sure you know the names and faces of the children you work for. In the end, that’s what ICDI is all about.
