Integral Human Development
The Concept and the Framework
Gaye Burpee, Geoff Heinrich and Rosann Zemanek
CRS has adopted Integral Human Development (IHD) as a central component of our strategy and the work we do with our partners. This brochure explains the IHD conceptual framework, a diagram that is useful for analyzing complex situations. As a holistic checklist to guide programming, the framework looks at systems and structures that affect how local assets are used, aims to decrease risk and vulnerability, and helps identify constraints and opportunities for improved livelihood strategies and outcomes. It works together with the CRS Justice Lens to help us understand the world of the poor, including their strengths and needs, in order to identify appropriate interventions to protect the sacredness of life, and to increase human dignity and social justice.
