The International Center for Development and Decent Work (ICDD) is a global multidisciplinary network of eight partner universities on four continents, including the MNS-University of Agriculture, Multan, with its head office at the University of Kassel (Germany). It cooperates closely with the International Labour Organization (ILO) and various non-governmental organizations. The ICDD contributes to the global fight against hunger and poverty through research and education on the Sustainable Development Goal #8 to promote inclusive and sustainable economic growth, employment, and decent work for all. A special focus lies thereby on the world’s 805 million people living in rural areas who face food insecurity.
