Inter-Council Network
The Inter-Council Network (ICN) is a coalition of the eight Provincial and Regional Councils for International Cooperation. These independent member-based Councils are committed to global social justice and social change, and represent more than 350 diverse civil society organizations (CSOs) from across Canada.
The ICN provides a national forum in which the Councils collaborate for improved effectiveness and identify common priorities for collective action. Rooted in communities across Canada, we are leaders in public engagement at a local and regional level, and are recognized for bringing regional knowledge and priorities to the national level.
ICN Initiatives
The Fund for Innovation and Transformation (FIT) is a national innovation initiative designed to support Canadian small and medium-sized organizations (SMOs) testing innovative solutions that advance gender equality in the Global South.
The Spur Change program, funded by Global Affairs Canada, aims to boost the effectiveness of Canadian SMOs in supporting international development goals and increase youth engagement as global citizens.
