International Consortium for Alternatives to Incarceration (ICATI)

Introducing ICATI

ICATI works with countries, organizations, professionals, and program sites to support the global development of treatment, care, and accountability as Alternatives to Incarceration (ATI). We also collaborate with international organizations and experts to create effective initiatives that can be adapted for your country.

We support ATI nationally and globally in 3 major ways:

ICATI Supports ATI Development Nationally and Globally in 3 Ways: Exploration & Development, Resources, and Networks.

ICATI was created as a project of the Colombo Plan-Drug Advisory Programme (DAP) in 2023, funded by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL).

ICATI was launched as a Global Coalition priority at the United Nations Commission on Narcotic Drugs (CND) in Vienna on 21 March 2024.
