About the Organization

The Atlantic Council for International Cooperation (ACIC) is a coalition of individuals, organizations, and institutions working in the Atlantic region, which are committed to achieving global sustainability in a peaceful and healthy environment, with social justice, human dignity, and participation for all. ACIC supports its members in international cooperation and education through collective leadership, networking, information, training, and coordination, and represents their interests when dealing with government and others.

The Atlantic Council for International Cooperation has been working to advance Canada’s 2030 SDG Agenda since 2015. All programming focuses on promoting awareness and engagement of the SDGs. Our work supporting members through networking events, capacity-building opportunities and increased public engagement centers on the Goals.

Since 2019, ACIC has been host council to the Inter-Council Network (ICN), which is a coalition of the eight provincial and regional councils for international cooperation across Canada. These independent member-based councils are committed to global social justice and social change and represent more than 350 diverse civil society organizations (CSOs) from coast to coast to coast.

The ICN provides a national forum in which the councils collaborate for improved effectiveness and identify common priorities for collective action, including the SDGs.

Each council’s membership spans from grassroots community society organizations to highly recognizable international development organizations – all working towards the achievement of various SDGs.
