HIMALDOC, based on Invenio software, has been developed by ICIMOD as a tool for the Hindu Kush Himalayan (HKH) regional repository on sustainable mountain development issues. The HKH region is the source of 10 large Asian river systems. They provide water, ecosystem services, and the basis for livelihoods to more than 210 million people. The availability of information resources and data on these issues is very crucial to further research and policy making. This paper highlights the need and importance of HIMALDOC, its aims, objectives and future pathways.
