Based at Columbia University with operations in more than 40 countries, ICAP is a leader in global public health, internationally known for tackling the world’s toughest health challenges—from HIV to tuberculosis, from malaria to maternal and child health, and the growing problem of non-communicable diseases, and most recently, the COVID-19 pandemic. Through innovative research, collaborative technical assistance, and a focus on strengthening health systems, ICAP helps to create better, more accessible, health services to reduce the burden of illness on people and communities. A beacon for inspiring change, ICAP disseminates knowledge and best practices to inspire better population health worldwide.
ICAP was founded at Columbia’s Mailman School of Public Health in 2003 by Wafaa El-Sadr. ICAP was created at a time when an estimated 2.4 million people were dying every year from HIV around the world. As the global crisis unfolded, ICAP was determined to overcome the challenge of making HIV treatment available in areas with very limited health care infrastructure.
ICAP’s pioneering approach was inspired by the experience of Dr. El-Sadr and her colleagues in the New York City community of Harlem, where HIV had been rapidly spreading and causing immeasurable suffering.
Originally called the International Center for AIDS Care and Treatment Programs, ICAP quickly engaged in the global HIV response, enabling the successful scale-up of HIV care and treatment in some of the most resource-challenged countries in the world. The immediate results galvanized the global health community.
Committed to a healthier tomorrow for all people, ICAP pursues a vision of a world where quality health services are available to all, so that people and communities can thrive and prosper.

Population, Health and Environment Ethiopia Consortium (PHEEC) was initiated and legally established on the backdrop of the global issues related to evolving demands and dynamism related sustainable development. Principle eight of the Rio Declaration states that: “to achieve sustainable development and a higher quality of life for all people, States should reduce and eliminate unsustainable patterns of production and consumption and promote appropriate demographic policies.” The Declaration also states, “The growth of the world population and production combined with unsustainable consumption patterns places increasingly severe stress on the life-supporting capacities of our planet.”
The 2005 Millennium Ecosystem Assessment and other studies have indicated that the rate of change on the ecosystems increases more rapidly and extensively through the time which poses threat on fulfilling the demands for food, fresh water, and energy. The idea for establishing PHEEC was initiated following the conference on Integrated Development for East Africa held in 2007 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The consortium was legally established on August 13, 2008 constituting 44 members as Consortium for the Integration of Population, Health and Environment (CIPHE).
The consortium was established so as to promote integrated holistic development model of population, health and environment in Ethiopia and beyond with the premise of contributing to sustainable development. Our guiding philosophy of promoting the PHE approaches upholds that in order to effectively help vulnerable communities, it is important to address the social, economic, and environmental constraints together.
The name of consortium has evolved through time to Population, Health and Environment Ethiopia Consortium (PHEEC) and the numbers of its members have significantly grown. Currently, the consortium has 81 member organizations both international and local origins operating throughout the country. The consortium is unique in its nature and pioneer in Ethiopia working on promotion of integrated multi-sector approaches. Its actions stretches from practical demonstrations of integrated development interventions at the household level to linking results to national and international policy advocacy.
We are the leading intergovernmental organization within the UN system, dedicated to promoting humane and orderly migration since 1951.
CorpsAfrica was founded in 2011 by former Peace Corps Volunteer Liz Fanning with the idea of turning community development in Africa over to local changemakers. During her own service, Liz was approached by young Moroccans who wanted to be Peace Corps Volunteers so they could help people in their own country, but she had to tell them it was only for Americans.
That exchange sparked the idea for an organization built on the simple belief that young Africans are the catalyst for lasting growth in Africa. Building on the enormous success of the Peace Corps, CorpsAfrica offers a similar transformative experience to young Africans, giving them the chance they deserve to be a part of the solution and to find their place in the world.
By training highly educated young Africans to help local communities identify and solve their own challenges, CorpsAfrica is shifting Africa’s development sector from reliance on external aid to empowering and strengthening its most valuable asset: its people. Inspired by the Peace Corps model, CorpsAfrica Volunteers are trained and posted to live in remote villages for up to one year to facilitate small-scale, high impact projects that are identified by local people.
Since launching its first program in Morocco in 2013, it has expanded to 10 countries across the continent and aims to expand to all 54 of Africa’s countries in the next ten years. To date, CorpsAfrica has hosted hundreds of volunteers across Morocco, Senegal, Malawi, and Rwanda, who have completed over 800 projects, including building wells, schools, roads, and irrigation systems; establishing literacy programs; and supporting vegetable and livestock farms.
CorpsAfrica Volunteers prioritize community engagement to build resilience so local people are better prepared to weather crises, recover from setbacks, and thrive. Through their service, the Volunteers also undergo a transformative experience that helps to shape their view of the world and prepare them for personal and professional success.
