ICCO Cooperation, with its roots in the Netherlands, is currently engaged in development efforts across 44 countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America. ICCO has collaborated with multiple development actors like private sector, government, non-governmental organizations, knowledge institutes and community based organisations to bring lasting positive changes in the lives of the communities they work with.
Historically, majority of ICCO’s funding came from the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs. After the budget cuts in 2010, ICCI have been looking to mobilize resources from others institutional donors, multilateral organisations, and foundations, etc.
