Based on its own experiences, PICA provides thought leadership in the international development policy arena, contributing in a limited but strategic way to international development policy-making. It mainly contributes with its policy leadership to the IDB and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) roadmap formulation as well as promoting resilience and the Humanitarian-Development nexus and development effectiveness.
Rooted in these four thematic pillars of PICA capacity, support is deployed based on demand from partner countries. Lessons from initial PICA engagements at country level guide and further shape the core offer of specialized expertise that has proven to work effectively in practice.
