ITCA Services
ITCA will focus on providing a highly differentiated set of complementary services based on a rich flow of contextually relevant contemporary information and knowledge under the respected brands of the UN, the ECA, and other strategic partners. These services will be of the highest quality in terms of objectivity, accuracy, relevance, comprehensiveness, reliability, and presentation. Whilst fulfilling each target market’s explicit needs, emphasis will be placed on helping them identify, expose and prioritise the implicit needs of their sectors. In order to implement the above activities, ITCA will focus on developing 3 core services:
