ICCO / Kerk in actie
ICCO is the Interchurch Organisation for Development Co-operation
and Kerk in Actie is part of the Protestant Church in the Netherlands.
ICCO and Kerk in Actie combine their knowledge, means and policies
to enable them to do their work in developing countries better and
more efficiently. Although they cooperate quite closely, ICCO and
Kerk in Actie continue to operate as separate organisations.
Together we provide financial support and advice to local organisations
and networks throughout the world that are dedicated to improving
access to basic services, stimulating sustainable economic development
and advancing peace and democracy. We also put enterprising people
in the Netherlands and developing countries in contact with one
another. We work very closely with social organisations, including
development organisations, educational institutions and businesses. Our
assistance goes to help people in Latin America, Asia, Africa and
Eastern Europe build a more dignified existence and become financially
independent. ICCO has 250 employees.

Background of the function In the past years ICCO has supported

organizations from the Helsinki Citizens’ Assembly (HCA) network in
developing their organizational and institutional capacities. The

review was carried out.
On the basis of the outcome of the mid term review in 2006 a second
phase for the above mentioned capacity building programme is being
developed for the period 2007-2008. The programme will be embedded in
the overall ICCO D&P programme, addressing both HCA’s as well as other
ICCO-partner organisations in Armenia and Azerbaijan. The programme
is titled "Civic Engagement in Peace building and Enhancement of
Human Rights in Armenia and Azerbaijan", and will have a focus on
civic engagement in peace and human rights issues and stimulating
constructive public debate and dialogue.
ICCO bears main responsibility for the programme. IKV/Pax Christi is
involved as an advisory party, and will support the capacity building
interventions related to the peace building programme through its
own expertise and networks.
