The '''Inclusive Development Office''', previously the '''Internal Development and Living Standards Directorate''' and the '''Interior Development Office''' attends to the ethnic, caste, and communal dimension of development, with the aim of promoting {{wp|inclusive development}} and {{wp|social includion}} by addressing the special needs of marginalised populations. Its main activity is producing the quinquennial Communal Development Rating Index, which assesses the socio-economic situation of identifiable population groups according to various metrics, evaluates the extent of discrimination and other social barriers to improvement, and assigns groups numerical ratings and class designations based on these findings. The ratings and designations in the report are used by other federal and provincial agencies to allocate state aid and other benefits [[Kiravia#Cultural_Groups|Coscivian subgroups and Kiravite Minorities]], off-reservation [[Urom]] populations, and [[Kiravia#Cultural_Groups|National Minority]] populations living in the Federation and South Kirav fall within the scope of the CDRI.<ref>Large "regional ethnic majorities" such as the [[Kir people]], [[South Coscivians]], and Melote people in the [[Melian Isles]] are not rated in their entirety.

The IDO is most acutely concerned with the welfare of Coscivian ''[[harsitem]]'' (outcastes) and ''yakavem'' ("village menial castes"), landless Urom tribes such as the Hotmail, urbanised Urom, [[Dwarfism in Kiravia|midget colonies]], describing these groups as "the absolute bottom rung of the Kiravian social ladder, except for Hosyars and [[Kikparis]]." Other economically precarious and historically discriminated communities, including occupational castes (e.g. [[Hoppers|Hop clans]], [[Ethnic groups of Kiravia#Euluśian Coscivians|Euluśians]], [[Ethnic groups of Kiravia#Sea Coscivians|Sea Coscivians]]), small and insular Coscivian minorities (e.g. [[Ethnic groups of Kiravia#Pine Swamp Coscivians|Pine Swamp Coscivians]]), and certain [[Kiravian Sectarians|Sectarian]] groups (e.g. [[Kiravian_Sectarians#Examples|Enochites]], [[Abrigalasts]]) are also high priorities, and it was historically these peoples, along with the lower strata of the regional majority ethnicities in the poor inland provinces, upon whom the IDO was most focused in the past. Over time, however, the office has increased its attention to other populations in need, such as urban ''[[Kolakoskem]]'' "returnees" in coastal cities.

Beyond its CDRI reports, the IDO also administers a small (relative to the SAF) amount of grant money to benefit marginalised communities.

Inherited from the Kiravian Union as the Interior Development Office, the IDO has been a political (if mostly rhetorical) lightning rod in the larger public debate about the policy significance of ethnic/caste/communal groups under liberalism. The [[Shaftonist Republican Alliance]], grounded in the ''[[Glossary_of_Coscivian_Terms#Dh|dhianbrikorisēn]]'' of the [[Renaissance Party]] and increasingly perceived in recent decades as representing higher caste interests, has often railed against the agency but has not moved to abolish the IDO despite its long-term political dominance. The [[Coscivian National Congress]], which has a strong voter base among the lower castes, has defended the IDO and its budget from SRA cuts even as a coalition partner. Customary leaders, Urom activists, traditionalist commentators, and some socialists have criticised the IDO's development philosophy and rating criteria as reflective of urban, bourgeois, and upper-caste biases and denigrating towards manual labour and traditional economies.
