ICA:UK received a grant from the UK Government’s Department of International Development (DFID) for community schools in Togo, West Africa, and a visit from International Development Minister Stephen O’Brien, with whom we spent over an hour sharing ideas and perspectives on development work in Africa.
Jonathan Dudding travelled to Tanzania to facilitate a strategic planning process with ICA Tanzania. With funds raised by ICA Tanzania and by Mohammed Khaki, Board member of ICA Canada, the event brought together key stakeholders to develop a new plan for ICA Tz.
In the UK, two further courses were held to introduce the Kumi approach to dealing with conflict (developed by ICA with others in the Israel/Palestine conflict). The next stage will be to focus on building a track record for Kumi in the UK, using the connections we have through the 40 people who have been through the courses.
