ICoCA
Website Development for a Geneva based NGO
ICoCA is the International Code of Conduct for Private Security Service Providers’ Association. Founded in Geneva, Switzerland, this multistakeholder initiative is committed to promoting, governing, and overseeing the implementation of the International Code of Conduct for private security providers. This is a set of principals designed to ensure that private security providers operate within the framework of respect for human rights and humanitarian law.
Key Challenges
ICoCA’s role is to promote responsible practices in the private security industry worldwide. They do this through a variety of measures including certification, monitoring, and third-party complaints procedures. These measures aim to improve the accountability and transparency of private security companies, helping to protect the rights of individuals affected by their operations. By bringing together governments, private security companies and civil society organisations, ICoCA plays a crucial role in regulating the global private security industry. ICoCA needed a website which conveys their mission, services, and partners in an easy to understand, user-friendly manner.
