Regional Capacity Building
ICP works with
partners around the world to identify specific
problems and opportunities in
recognition that programs and
policies are shaped by
the political and
cultural
context of each
country.
ICP
bases its work on effective
practices, but does not prescribe a single way
to
“do” youth policy or youth service
programming.
