Mission Statement
ICAD provides leadership in the response of Canadian international development organizations and Canadian HIV organizations in reducing the impact of the global HIV and AIDS epidemic. ICAD’s vision is a world where the stigma, discrimination and inequities that drive HIV infection are eliminated and people living with or vulnerable to HIV infection are resourced and supported.
About This Cause
The Interagency Coalition on AIDS and Development (ICAD) is a registered Canadian charity based in Ottawa, Ontario representing a large coalition of over 100 Canadian HIV and AIDS organizations, international development non-governmental organizations, academic institutions, labour unions, and individuals. ICAD was founded in 1989 as a working group of the Canadian Council for International Cooperation (CCIC) with the mandate to bring together AIDS service organizations and international development organizations to address the HIV crisis at home and abroad. ICAD helps Canadians contribute to international HIV work and encourages Canadian organizations to use the lessons learned from the global response that ICAD makes available, to improve prevention, care, treatment, and support services across diverse settings in Canada. ICAD provides leadership in reducing the global and domestic impact of the HIV and AIDS epidemic through improving public policy, providing information and analysis, and sharing lessons learned. As the primary Canadian source of information on HIV and development, ICAD continues to: -- Provide leadership to Canadians in creating effective global and domestic policies and programs in response to HIV and AIDS; -- Facilitate communication and information sharing between individuals, ICAD members, government departments and UN organizations to improve the effectiveness of Canadian responses to the pandemic; -- Bolster capacity of Canadian AIDS service organizations, development partners, front-line agencies, researchers, and people who are living with and vulnerable to HIV and related co-morbidities through workshops, webinars, information resources, research and analysis; -- Create and facilitate multi-sectoral forums for open dialogue giving voice to the concerns, needs, priorities and successes of communities and civil society groups.
