ICCO WORKS WITH ENTERPRISING PEOPLE TOWARDSA WORLD WITHOUT POVERTY, INJUSTICE AND EXCLUSION

ICCO SOUTH EAST ASIA & PACIFIC

ICCO is an international development organization with roots in the

Netherlands. We have 7 regional offices in the world and work in 44

countries. The regional office in South East Asia & Pacific has more then 300

projects in 6 countries: Cambodia, Indonesia, Myanmar, Papua New Guinea,

Philippines and Vietnam.

MISSION

Our mission is to end poverty, injustice and exclusion to establish a full and

dignified life for all. Based on equality, co-responsibility and respect for

diversity we seek to cooperate with organizations and companies that feel

connected to our values: compassion, justice and stewardship.

PROGRAMS

Through entrepreneurial partnerships we empower people to fulfill

their economic, social and civil rights. We connect people, organizations,

companies, knowledge and innovative ideas in order to achieve our mission.

But we can’t do this by ourselves. Therefore we focus on four interrelated

programs: Fair Economic Development, Food & Nutrition Security, Fair

Climate and Conflict Transformation & Democratization.

ICCO has been working in South East Asia & Pacific since the 1970s. Centered on agrarian reform and rural democratization our program has made significant contributions in people empowerment, and the re-distribution of thousands of hectares of land to small farmers and indigenous people. These efforts for more social justice are the strong foundations of our current program on Fair Economic Development which focuses on connecting poor producers and farmers to value chains.

Women in South East Asian countries are often excluded from decision-making structures: from household level until politics. Encouraging female leadership, making government officials aware of gender equality, microfinance for women and actively involving women in peace processes are examples of our strategy. ICCO & Kerk in Actie empower organizations that focus on lady farmers, because we believe that investing in women benefits a whole family.

Climate change is considered one of the most important problems of this century. Especially countries like the Philippines and Indonesia are severely hit by the consequences of climate change. The main cause of global warming is the world’s growing carbon footprint. The aim of the ICCO Fair Climate program is to reduce CO2 emissions of rich countries through carbon trade. We support poor forest communities to increase their income by introducing carbon credits. We also encourage them to produce non-timber-forest-products as an alternative for timber and deforestation.
