Project Description
The Atlantic Council for International Cooperation (ACIC) aims to promote public awareness of international development issues. Through this program ACIC fosters increased participation by Maritimers (civil society organizations government private sector institutions and citizens) in creating a more just and sustainable world for all. Through its public engagement activities ACIC maintains its leadership role in the province in the areas of raising awareness enabling change and encouraging action on international development issues.

This Council is one of seven Councils that make up the Inter-Council Network (ICN). All seven Councils are funded through the same envelope and do similar work in their respective provinces.
