ICF Funding & Support

African Governments - African governments are the key stakeholder and main beneficiary of ICF. We work in partnership with receptive African governments to identify priorities for intervention and develop appropriate practical responses.

Development Partners - ICF's development partners include the governments of Germany, Ireland, Netherlands, South Africa and the United Kingdom, as well as the Africa Development Bank and the International Finance Corporation.

ICF will continue to work closely with other initiatives and development partners to avoid any duplication of activity. We do not seek to compete with other organisations but instead strive to complement existing initiatives and fill any 'gaps' that may exist.

Corporate Partners - ICF is backed by a number of corporate investors:

In addition to providing financial support, ICF's corporate investors also provide their skills and expertise - for example, through the secondment of managers and specialists, or through the deployment of tested techniques and processes.

Business Action for Africa, the international business network established during the 2005 G8 Summit, also strongly supports ICF, and has stated its belief that ICF will play a key role in delivering positive change for Africa and its people.
