As mentioned JCI Adana focuses on international and local goals, these projects vary. Most of our projects are encouraged to last for one year. But certain priorities receive extended (more than 1 year; most seen for 5-6 years). Internationally supported projects/Activities: Better Partnerships As an international non-governmental organization (NGO) with active participation in the UN system, JCI’s international partners include big names in global development, capacity building and international cooperation. Our partnerships are based in mutual goals and a synergy with the JCI Mission and Values, creating the maximum impact to support the local work our members do every day. Partner: United Nations Focus: UN Millennium Development Goals (UN MDGs) JCI has officially partnered with the UN since 1954. Through the years, these relationships have expanded to include various branches in the UN system as the two organizations collaborate to magnify their collective impact. In 2003, JCI committed to advancing the UN Millennium Development Goals, a set of time-bound targets for poverty, hunger, disease, illiteracy, environmental degradation and discrimination against women. JCI members organize thousands of projects every year committed to advancing the goals and using the UN MDGs as a framework. Partner: United Nations Global Compact Focus: Corporate Sustainability The United Nations Global Compact is a call to companies everywhere to voluntarily align their operations and strategies with ten universally-accepted principles in the areas of human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption, and to take action in support of UN goals. Launched in 2000, it is the world’s largest corporate sustainability initiative, with over 10,000 signatories in 145 countries, and Local Networks in over 100 countries. JCI partners with the UN Global Compact to educate small- and medium-sized enterprises on how to be responsible and profitable in a competitive global market. Partner: International Chamber of Commerce-World Chambers Federation (ICC-WCF) Focus: Global Economic Progress The ICC is the voice of world business championing the global economy as a force for economic growth. Through our partnership with the ICC-WCF, JCI Local Organizations collaborate with local chambers of commerce to collaborate on projects to advance global economic progress and encourage entrepreneurship. Partner: UN Foundation Focus: Combating Malaria with JCI Nothing But Nets Malaria is the leading killer of children in Africa, but this deadly disease can be prevented with the use of insecticide-treated bed nets. Through JCI Nothing But Nets, a campaign in partnership with the UN Foundation’s Nothing But Nets initiative, JCI members raise funds for the purchase and distribution of insecticide-treated nets and educate communities on their proper use. Partner: UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) Focus: Youth Capacity Building Since 1996, JCI has contributed to achieving UNESCO's goal of promoting cooperation among its 193 Member States and 6 Associate Members in the fields of education, science, culture and communication. JCI Local and National Organizations collaborate with UNESCO in many ways, including participating in the NGO International Conference and theme-specific collective and regional consultations. Such projects are established and diffused also locally within Turkey and Adana area.
