Working with ICOMP

The International Council on Management of Population Programmes (ICOMP) is committed in the management of high-quality sustainable reproductive health programmes.  Since its establishment in 1973, ICOMP has charted a unique path towards strengthening programme capacity and effectiveness with managerial improvements in numerous developing countries.  Thus, it works to narrow the gap between a programme’s potential and actual results.

Building on 35 years of experience, ICOMP continues to work towards identifying key pertinent concerns and issues related to population and development, especially in a post-ICPD environment, with focus on MDGs.  It assists in management improvement through leadership and management development, promoting use of good practices and catalysing policy dialogues by the use of instruments like assessment tools, organisational/programme diagnosis, training modules, action research and technical assistance.

It builds synergistic alliances and relationships with a number of key population management institutions.  ICOMP’s clients and partners range from policymakers of government agencies, managers and heads of both government and NGO programmes to grassroots project personnel and researchers.
