Statutory ICA members of ICA International are ICA Togo, ICA Benin, and ICA Côte d'Ivoire, and Associate ICA members are EPDI Nigeria and Development Institute Ghana.

Several ICA's were active for more than 20 years, and associate ICA's joined after ICAI created the Associate Member structure in 2010. See each West Africa ICA web pages for information in the ICA Per Country section.
