Mission

The mission of the Italian Association of Development Economists (SITES), born in 2011, is to create an Italian and international research community based on a network of scholars, research centers and multilateral institutions. It deals with sustainable development by integrating the economic, social and environmental dimensions into research, training, communication and social commitment activities.

Like the Sociable Weaver depicted in the logo that weaves large nests offering safe protection to many generations of birds for a very long time, so SITES weaves relationships in order to create a supportive and sustainable protective network that knows no geographical and cultural barriers aimed at favoring the best development conditions for the inhabitants of the nest.
