In addition, ICCo works closely with women and youth groups, empowering them to address critical challenges related to equity, gender, land ownership, access to resources, and control over these resources.

Approach

ICCo achieves its mission through:

• Designing and directly implementing development programs
• Advocating for evidence-based policies that benefit marginalized communities
• Building multi-stakeholder platforms that bring together diverse actors to collaborate toward shared goals
• The organization places vulnerable youth and women at the center of all its interventions. It focuses on building capacities at the individual, community, and institutional levels, while also leveraging technology and social media as key tools to maximize impact.

Core Principles

ICCo’s program interventions are guided by two fundamental principles:

• Securing sustainable livelihoods
• Ensuring justice and dignity for all

• Provide technical and knowledge support to stakeholders such as governments, NGOs, and women’s collectives to implement thematic interventions through locally owned solutions
• Support stakeholders in achieving sustainable and holistic community development
• Enhance the quality of life of communities in underserved and remote regions through capacity building initiatives
• Create convergence platforms to enable effective resource mobilization among diverse stakeholders
