At ICAD, cultural heritage—both tangible and intangible—is seen as a living resource that shapes a community’s identity, strengthens social cohesion, and connects generations. Protecting it means not only preserving traditions, languages, crafts, and stories, but also building intercultural bridges and supporting sustainable development through education, inclusion, and dialogue. We view collective memory as a foundation for community dignity and a tool for helping people reconnect with their roots—within a globalized present and a more equitable future.
ICAD does not act as a primary access management operator. Its role is supportive, based on partnerships and available logistics—tents, essential food, and expert staff ready for deployment. The organization also provides training, mediation, and rapid assistance in volatile environments, ensuring safer access for vulnerable communities.
The type of assistance depends on the nature of the crisis and the operational and logistical capacities available to ICAD. The organization collaborates closely with international institutions, host state authorities, international NGOs within its network, and specialized experts to ensure an effective and coordinated crisis response.
Not exclusively. ICAD also provides support and expertise in the Middle East and other regions where its intervention is needed. However, Africa remains a priority area due to its concrete needs, which require active and immediate involvement, as well as raising international awareness to ensure the sustainable development of strategic sectors.
