The International Catholic Movement for Intellectual and Cultural Affairs, Pax Romana ICMICA, has been involved in the worldwide debate on sustainable development, human rights and poverty eradication. Last year, Pax Romana ICMICA joined the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) Campaign and met other African stakeholders in Nairobi during the African Forum for the Global Call for Action against Poverty (GCAP).
