Promoting sustainable development and international cooperation.
The Italian Agency for Development Cooperation (AICS) was established in 2016 to enhance Italy’s efforts in international cooperation and development. It aims to eradicate poverty, reduce inequalities, and promote sustainable development globally, with a particular focus on Africa. AICS operates under the guidelines of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, implementing projects that align with international development goals and Italy’s foreign policy objectives.
AICS is committed to fostering partnerships with local and international stakeholders to ensure the effectiveness and sustainability of its initiatives. The agency prioritizes sectors such as health, education, agriculture, and environmental sustainability, working to empower communities and support economic growth. By leveraging Italy’s expertise and resources, AICS seeks to make a significant impact on the development landscape, contributing to peace and stability in its countries of intervention.
AICS operates in numerous African countries, including Ethiopia, Senegal, Mozambique, and Tunisia, among others.
AICS runs various programs aimed at improving health care systems, enhancing educational opportunities, supporting sustainable agriculture, and promoting environmental conservation. These initiatives are designed to address the specific needs of each country and foster long-term development.
AICS has been instrumental in implementing projects that have improved access to essential services and resources for millions of people across Africa. Its efforts have led to significant advancements in public health, education, and sustainable agricultural practices, contributing to the overall development and stability of the regions it serves.
