Capacity Development of European ICAs and ICAs from other geographical areas

Nature of the programme

The programme approach with the European ICAs is also based on partnership and being responsive to the requests of the partners. The current focus is on running a joint Training of ToP Trainers in late 2006/early 2007.

It is also planned to keep options open for suitable partnerships with ICAs from other geographical areas who have an interest in engaging with ICA:UK and with whom we can usefully collaborate.

Current examples are ICA Peru and ICA India. Under this programme is also the support that ICA:UK provides to ICA International.
