ICCO is the Dutch inter-church organisation
for development co-operation. Together with its partner organisations
in Asia, Africa, Latin America, Eastern Europe and the Middle East,
ICCO works towards a world without poverty and injustice. ICCO's
partner organisations comprise local church-based and secular,
non-governmental development organisations. Annually, ICCO spends over
Euro 100 million on support to development programmes of these
organisations. ICCO seeks on the one hand to make a relevant
contribution to structural poverty alleviation in developing countries,
and on the other hand to promote structures, systems and processes that
contribute globally to a more equitable distribution of prosperity and
power.
KerkinActie is part of the Protestant Church in the Netherlands. ICCO
and KerkinActie combine their knowledge, means and policies to enable
them to do their work in developing countries better and more
efficiently. Although they cooperate quite closely, ICCO and
KerkinActie continue to operate as separate organisations. ICCO and
KerkinActie are in a process of decentralisation. In February 2010 a
Regional Office will open in Bali, Indonesia.
