The Organisation
The African Institute of Corporate Citizenship (AICC) is a non-governmental organization whose main mandate is to promote the role of businesses in building resilient communities and sustainable businesses through partnerships.

Since its establishment, AICC’s mandate has expanded to stimulating and supporting private sector investment in the Malawian agricultural and rural markets with a specific focus on the lower end of these markets. Its operations are national in scope and stretches across the agriculture sector and the organization works primarily with those partners in the sector that are committed to engaging the rural poor as their beneficiaries, suppliers  and consumers. AICC aims at addressing systems and institutions that can drive competitiveness and job creation in specific sectors by using a market development approach. The interventions by the organization build on private sector development strategies that seek to strengthen enterprises, business relationships & services, market structures, and the business environment so that they channel more benefits to the poor and create more and better jobs effectively. Since its inception, AICC has developed and continue to host the Cotton, Rice, Legumes, Dairy and Livestock Value Chains.
