Who form a part of the FWSCI

It is  a  rightful place to mention here that  FWSCI is currently made from partners of The ICCO and KerkinActie Alliance that receives its support from  the Access to basic services program.

The ICCO Alliance is a cooperation of the six Dutch development organisations i.e. Educans, KerkinActie, Oikocredit, Prisma, Share people, and ICCO that share the same identity and strongly committed supporters in the Netherlands.

They combine many years of experience and a diversity of relations and partners in the south, felt ” Results achieved in the past are no guarantee for the future”  and require different approach for sustainable results.

In 2007 the ICCO Alliance entered a new business plan period with a significant  organisational changes that came into effect per the 1st of January 2007: with the merging of the International departments of KerkinActie and ICCO. The newly formed ICCOenKerkinActie is organised along programme lines:

1. Sustainable, fair economic development
2. Democratisation & Peace Building
3. Access to Basic Service

Over the next few years the ICCO Alliance aims to fundamentally change its methodology, both in the Netherlands and with its partners in the South. In 2010 a networking organisation will be set up to effectively bring about the co-operation in the Netherlands and Europe with a wide group of private Individuals, companies and social organizations in the field of International cooperation in a way that preparation and execution of the policy is a responsibility shared between North and South.

Although ICCO only recently decided to work according to a Programmatic approach, ICCO and KerkinActie have more than 40 years of experience of working with partner organisation and the reality in which these partner organizations operate, had had a great effect on ICCOs policy.  For instances,  in India, there has been much focus over the last 4-5 years on food security together with a group of partner organizations. The other areas they joined hands in defining a common agenda for HIV Aids,

Programmes do not need to start from zero and challenge is to justice to the expertise that already exists and to define together strategies that will have an added value.
