What are Intercountry Committees?
The sections within a pair maintain close communication, exchange information about Rotary events, and share regional publications. They work together and leverage their bilateral network of Rotarians to help clubs implement humanitarian projects.

ICC Leadership
ICC Leadership
The leadership of ICCs operates on two levels: individual ICC sections function autonomously, with their own leadership structures, and are responsible for coordinating activities within their respective countries.
ICC Executive Committee
At the global level, the ICC Executive Committee provides guidance and support to the network of ICCs. This committee is tasked with promoting the development of new ICCs, collecting and sharing best practices, and maintaining a directory of active committees.
The Forum on the Future of International Organizations
Rotary International is working together with ICCs to promote peace and international cooperation by aligning their governance and encouraging greater participation.
