Social development processes aim to empower people to bring about economic and social improvement in their lives. Often this involves institution-building and structural change. The International Consortium for Social Development (ICSD) is an organization of practitioners, scholars and students in the human services.

ICSD serves as a clearinghouse for information on international social development. The Consortium fosters collaboration among personnel of organizations such as the United Nations, World Bank, UNESCO, and UNICEF as well as among professional associations in the human services and institutions of higher learning. ICSD is a well-established and widely recognized international catalyst for sharing ideas among many nations and across many cultures.
