About the ICN:

The Inter-Council Network (ICN) is a coalition of the eight Provincial and Regional Councils for International Cooperation, of which ACIC is one. Between the eight Councils, the Inter-Council Network represents over 350 diverse civil society organizations (CSOs) across Canada.   

As a network, the ICN provides a national forum in which the Councils’ leadership collaborate for improved effectiveness and identify common priorities for collective action.   

Over the last year, the ICN has introduced two new national programs for small-and-medium organizations (SMOs): the SPUR Change program, headquartered at the Alberta Council for Global Cooperation, and the Fund for Innovation and Transformation (FIT), based at the Manitoba Council for International Cooperation. 

The ICN is currently hosted by the ACIC: Since May 2020, with the adoption of our new four-year agreement with Global Affairs Canada, ACIC has taken on a leadership role as host council of the Inter-Council Network. We are excited to be hosting this national body and working more closely with the eight provincial and regional councils. Together, we work to strengthen the international cooperation sector through advocacy, capacity-building, youth engagement, and thought leadership.
