INSEDA
Integrated Sustainable Energy and Ecological Development Association - India

The Integrated Sustainable Energy and Ecological Development Association (INSEDA) was, until 2024, an Indian national organization formed by NGOs involved in the promotion of renewable energy programmes with special focus on the implementation of biogas development in rural areas of the country. INSEDA had over 50 Indian NGOs as members and was registered as a national society in 1995.

INSEDA's aim was to facilitate process oriented, sustainable human development (SHD) in partnership with local organisations. INSEDA’s members were all working to promote sustainable energy technologies with special emphasis on poverty reduction in rural India. Since 1995 - until 2024 - INSEDA was the regional coordinator of INFORSE. It was also engaging in specific projects in cooperation with members.

The highest body in INSEDA was the general assembly of members that elected the board which had seven members: five representatives of the member NGOs, the secretary general, and a business representative. The secretariat of INSEDA had 3-4 persons and was headed by a secretary general. In addition INSEDA had advisors on a number issues such as gender, micro-financing, biogas, financial monitoring and field workers for specific projects (presently 5 field workers and 48 field volunteers).
