International Cooperatives Alliance

The International Cooperative Alliance (ICA) is a global organization that brings together cooperatives from around the world, representing their interests and promoting cooperative principles. Cooperatives are member-owned businesses that operate for the benefit of their members, such as farmers’ groups, credit unions, or housing associations. The ICA supports these organizations through advocacy, sharing best practices, and fostering collaboration. Its goal is to strengthen cooperatives to ensure they continue to serve their members effectively, contribute to sustainable development, and promote social and economic well-being globally.
