International Center for Human Development
The International Center for Human Development was according to its own account 'established in March 2000 and considered one of the truly unique think tanks in the South Caucasus region' It aims are 'to strengthen democratic mechanisms' and 'fostering free market values'. The ICHD 'uses a variety of means to communicate its research to the broadest possible audiences, and especially to critical groups such as policymakers, scholars, and the media'. In other words the ICHD is a neoliberal think tank attempting to impose the free market on Armenia.
It is not surprising, therefore, that it has been involved with the British Council propaganda operation Connecting Futures [1]
