ICESPS stands for International Center for Environmental,
Social and Policy Studies which is a non governmental
organization whose main goal is to provide a forum via which
environmental protection and conflict resolution as well as
policy analysis can be achieved. It was established to promote,
encourage, safeguard, propagate, protect, restore the environment
from degradation and control, delimit and enhance human dignity
for the achievement of industrial, economic, technological
and social development. ICESPS is managed and run by two kinds
of committees namely; Executive Committee which runs the day
to day operations of the center and a Governing Council which
is the overall governing body of the center. ICESPS is divided
into 2 departments namely:
Environment Protection and Social Issues
Governance and Policy Issues
Our Mission
ICESPS ultimate aim is to make people the center and solution to their own problems. Solutions are to be an effort of, by and for the people. Hence, the people have to identify their own problems, prioritise them and come up with respective solutions for the qualified and experienced executive management personnel. In its various thematic subjects, each is headed by an expert assisted by a number of associate consultants.
- Awareness
of Environmental Management
This involves participating approach in research, extension, and training. Putting people first and recognizing their own community problems, priorities, solutions and capabilities in terms of human resources and other resources is the route to sustainable environmental management and development.
- Inter-organization
collaborations:
ICESPS promotes close interlinks and collaborations with other agencies with common interest in the exchanges of ideas and experiences, and for the enhancement of quality stable society.
- Conflicts
Identification
ICESPS believes that conflicts of any nature and magnitude are the root cause of instability in most societies and therefore a contributor to environmental instability in most societies and therefore a contributor to environmental instability and degradation. Therefore, the proper and early identification and categorization of conflicts in various societies will helping achieving a peaceful and pacific co-existence among communities and an important determinant factor in social and economic development.
- Research:
The center recognizes the central place and role played by research in information creation, identification of problems and solutions, training and dissemination. To this end, the center will highly articulate research into any of the fields of its concern. More so, it will link up with other institutions for integration of information and dissemination.
- Policy
Studies
Various policies affecting every human activity have been promulgated. ICESPS feels that most of such policies have not been fully studied e.g. policies related to structural adjustment programmes. The center will therefore study these policies among others and come up with practical ways and means of implementing and evaluating them.
