Investment Cooperation Program (INC)

The Investment Cooperation Program (INC)'s objective is to support responsible, developmentally beneficial, private sector engagement in developing countries leading to sustained economic growth and poverty reduction. The program achieves this by sharing some of the costs involved in studying the viability of an investment, demonstrating and adapting appropriate technologies, and undertaking activities aimed at enhancing the economic, environmental and social benefits of those investments. The Investment Cooperation Program (INC) is part of Canada's Official Development Assistance for developing countries.
