Alternative Development Model & Peace

Empowering Change for a Peaceful & Sustainable World

Peace & Development are deeply intertwined and mutually reinforcing. Development lays the foundation for peace by addressing basic human needs, alleviating poverty, and fostering communication, cooperation, and understanding. At the same time, peace provides a secure environment that is essential for sustainable development and progress.
With a vision to explore and advance a new model of development, India Center Foundation (ICF) and International Forum for Peace and Understanding (IFF) have joined forces. Together, they aim to bring together global leaders to co-create a more equitable, sustainable, and inclusive model of development that places peace and justice – both social, economic, and environmental – at the forefront.
Alternative Development Model (ADM) is a new model of socio-economic development, that espouses the non-exploitation of people, resources, and the environment at its core and works towards creating and executing initiatives for equitable and empowering opportunities. ADM-
places peace at the center of its approach to development
designs and implements initiatives that are environmentally responsible, equitable, and sustainable
envisions a world that is balanced, sustainable, inclusive, and fosters peace

A Peaceful World is a World at Peace with itself

A peaceful world is more than just an absence of conflict and violence; it is a world that is at peace with itself. In such a world, peace is not only an elusive goal, but an achievable one. By actively working towards a more equitable and sustainable future through the Alternative Development Model, we can create a world that is at peace with itself and in harmony with all its inhabitants.
