ICU headquarter is in Rome, while other Italian offices are located in Milan, Bari, Trapani. Additional offices are also in Lebanon, Jordan, Tunisia and Burundi.
The purpose of ICU is to promote self-development in the countries in which it operates. This is why it always implements activities that strongly rely on education and training of local population and institutions. In fact, capacity building, understood as transfer of technology, methodology and know-how, is a fundamental component of ICU strategy in its relations with local partners. The technical assistance the Institute provides through its projects is always aimed at improving local skills and operational capabilities.
The main sectors in which ICU is involved today are: agriculture, rural development, water resources management and environment; professional training; health; education for development; and emergency.
