Support Our Work

Supporting ICOPAD helps sustain independent coordination, documentation, and engagement with policy and institutional processes.

Why Support ICOPAD?

ICOPAD's work depends on the capacity to maintain structured coordination, documentation, and engagement across long-term policy and institutional processes.

Financial contributions help sustain:

  • Coordination infrastructure: The platforms, tools, and processes that enable aligned and sustained engagement.
  • Documentation and knowledge work: Research, policy analysis, and public-facing resources that support informed participation.
  • Process continuity: Long-term tracking of policy processes and institutional engagement that cannot rely on short-term project funding.
  • Independence: The ability to operate without being dependent on institutional or government funding that may compromise autonomy.
