Welcome to Intercooperation India
Intercooperation has been working in India since 1982, as a project management and implementation partner of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation, SDC. Our early experience focused on the livestock and dairy sector. Intercooperation provided technical expertise and helped establish a series of bilateral projects with state governments in Kerala, Rajasthan, Andhra Pradesh, Orissa and Sikkim. The collaborations have been marked by a high degree of mutual trust and recognition of Intercooperation's thematic competencies. They created a strong base for expanding our partnerships to other sectors and with other civil society organisations.
Intercooperation now works with governments, technical and research organisations, NGOsand Community Based Organisations (CBOs) on initiatives in natural resource management for sustainable livelihoods.
In all our work we seek to support gender balanced, equitable development, focusing on the poor and marginalized. |

Sustainable production of Organic and Fair trade rice in India and Thailand funded by COOP (Cooperative, Switzerland) : Intercooperation has been engaged to manage the Organic and Fair trade Basmati rice in India. Under the thematic guidance of the representative of HSIC Bern and administrative supervision of CEO ICSD India, an Indian Project Coordinator of ICSD based in India (headquarter in Hyderabad) will coordinate and manage the project's multifaceted activities. The main objectives of the project are to increase and secure farm incomes from rice-based agriculture, to improve their food security and adaptation capacities to climate change, to increase water efficiency, reduce and off-set greenhouse gas emissions and increase biodiversity, and to reliably supply high-quality certified rice. This involves organizing the farmers, leading them to form producer companies, internal control systems for fair trade practices and handholding support to make them sustainable.
