The Institute for Sustainable Development (ISD),
which is based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, was established in 1996 by Dr.Tewolde
Gebre Berhan Egziabher and Sue Edwards. Its main purpose is to pursue
sustainable development, primarily in Ethiopia, by empowering local communities
and helping them build on their own sustainable development practices.
Winner for 2011 Gothenburg Award for
Sustainable Development, Sue Edwards is the director of the Institute for
Sustainable Development, which is based in Addis Ababa, the capital of
Ethiopia. “The fact that the institute has been recognized for the pioneering
work we’ve done is really a fantastic boost and very timely because there’s a
lot of discussion in the world right now about how agriculture is done,” she
says. “And we do think what we have tried to do is important for the world and
for Africa.”
