Deadline: April 30, 2018

The International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) invites nominations for its first annual Mountain Prize. The Prize will be awarded to an individual or organization in recognition of their significant efforts to advance the mountain cause in the Hindu Kush Himalayan (HKH) region through innovations in their different capacities.

The ICIMOD Mountain Prize will be awarded to an individual, organization, or private sector entity based in the HKH region or beyond, which has demonstrated outstanding efforts enabling sustainable and resilient mountain development in the HKH region to benefit the environment as well as communities—particularly the poor, the youth, and women. While we would like to particularly acknowledge the efforts of individuals and organizations that have worked in line with ICIMOD’s mandate, this is not a pre-condition for the award.

Nominations will be accepted for those individuals, organizations, or companies that have brought about transformative change in the HKH.

Thematic Areas

Fields of achievement of the individual or organization being nominated or applying for the ICIMOD Mountain Prize can be in any of the following eight thematic areas:

  1. access to water for drinking and other productive purposes or/and sanitation,
  2. sustainable production systems for food/nutrition security and income,
  3. climate change adaptation or/and disaster risk reduction,
  4. access to cleaner energy,
  5. information and communication technologies for development (ICT4D),
  6. promotion of economic/income generating opportunity or/and investment,
  7. policy advocacy, and
  8. mountain ecosystems/biodiversity management.

Prize

The ICIMOD Mountain Prize amount has been set at USD 5,000.

Eligibility

The nominee for the ICIMOD Mountain Prize must meet the following criteria:

  • Must have done demonstrable outstanding work contributing to sustainable mountain development or/and resilience building in the Hindu Kush Himalayan region (see below)
  • Must be able to demonstrate the extent of the transformative change brought about by the outstanding work of the nominee in terms of benefitting a substantial number of people and the environment of the Hindu Kush Himalaya;
  • The winner or winning organization of the Prize should acknowledge, on all suitable occasions, that they have received the “ICIMOD Mountain Prize”. This should be for at least one year, or until the Prize is awarded to the next winner. Individual winners are expected to list the award on their CVs.

Other:

  • Substantial weight is given to work/activities that address complex or wicked problem(s) or challenge(s) in an innovative/ingenious manner.
  • Women and youth are encouraged to apply.
