Worldwide Support for Development (世界開発協力機構 Sekai Kaihatsu Kyōryoku Kikō) (WSD) is a not for profit organization in Japan.
Worldwide Support for Development was registered as a specified non-profit juridical person (NPO) by The Metropolitan Tokyo in 2008. It is aimed to assist disadvantaged people and to support international cooperation, social welfare, universities and academic institutions. WSD has hitherto organized three World Opinion Leaders Summits as international conference, inviting former Tony Blair, Bill Clinton, and Collin Powell. It has also co-organized World Sports Summit for Peace in Tokyo together with the International Sports Promotion Society, a general incorporated association, and also has held charity concerts.
It has organized an international conference to discuss on contribution to world peace and other themes.
WSD has been supporting a series of World Sports Summit for Peace since 2012. It co-sponsored the 2013 Summit held in Tokyo with International Sports Promotion Society.
In September 2013, WSD executed an agreement with the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) on a project for strengthening democracy in the Asia region. The project is focused on promoting the involvement of women in parliament and in youth so as to strengthen the parliamentary potentiality, based on the fact that there are some nations with no female parliamentary members whatsoever.
WSD supports young leaders to be involved in the management of the Pacific Forum CSIS and to accumulate practical experience by participating in international conferences organized by the Pacific Forum CSIS, through WSD-Handa Fellowship Program.
WSD offers support for the Handa Terrorism Political Violence Research Center associated with University of St Andrews to support international conferences to study terrorism and political violence and scholarship for researchers.
