Based on our participation philosophy that puts people at the heart of development, our mission is to promote any economic, social and cultural activity that will result in positive transformation of communities.

Our Events

The 2015 ICA East Africa Gathering was organized by ICA USA and ICA Tanzania. The conference was paid for by ICA USA donor Ruth Reames and a mini grant from ICAI. In 2011 ICA USA staff had visited several East African ICAs and asked what the ICAs thought would be most helpful in building their capacity. Methods training for newer staff, and increased connections among ICAs were high on the list. Thus the idea for the conference was born. Although a gathering like this is not new in ICA’s longer term history, in more recent history the practice of gathering has been neglected due to limited capacity and time of ICAs to come together to share.
