ICA Congress Seoul 9 Sept 2016

What we do• We meet specific financial needs from archivists

at individual and country level, e.g. workshops, training etc

• We need to see how the project will develop the records management and archives of the country

• WE DO NOT produce products of more general archival use or longer-term professional programmes which are the remit of PCOM

• We DO NOT support normal activities of Archives nor conferences


The trustees make sure

• the project is about practical development• applications are from an individual or from an

archival organisation in a country NOT from external trainers

• its clear what the outcomes will be for their organisation

• how they will be sustainable in the future• that the project can be managed in the timescale• they report to FIDA and account for the money

spent to ICA
