Overview[Cliquez ici pour obtenir des informations en français]The International Crisis Group (ICG) is a multinational organisation committed to strengthening the capacity of the international community to understand and respond to impending crises. Teams of political analysts based on the ground in countries at risk of crisis, gather information from a wide range of sources, assess local conditions and produce regular analytical reports containing practical policy recommendations targeted at key international decision-takers. ICG's reports are distributed widely to officials in foreign ministries and international organisations, to journalists and others. The ICG Board - which includes prominent figures from the fields of politics, diplomacy, business and the media - is closely involved in helping to bring ICG reports and recommendations to the attention of senior policy-makers around the world. ICG's advocacy efforts are reinforced by a media strategy designed to increase press coverage of key issues identified in ICG's analyses. ICG currently operates field projects in eight countries worldwide: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania, Macedonia, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, Algeria, Burundi, The Democratic Republic of Congo and Cambodia. ICG's budget for 1998 is $ US 3 million (ECU 3.3 million). The organisation raises approximately 50 percent of its funds from charitable foundations, companies and individual donors, and the balance from governments. The following governments currently have funding agreements with ICG: Austria, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, The Netherlands, Norway, Republic of China (Taiwan), States of Jersey (Channel Islands), Sweden, Switzerland and the United States.
