IECD structures its activity around four main fields of work: Education, Vocational Training and Youth Employability, Enterpreneurship and Healthcare. Each field of work includes several programs, through which IECD has been developing a renowned expertise as well as innovative actions which respond to a local need.
IECD engages with the local population over the long run. Its projects are primarily aimed at those who need it the most. Particular attention is given to the youth and women, who have a strong impact on development.
