ICROSS campaigns since 1979 have included Africa awakes which tries to change the stereotypes and negative perceptions of Africa. These exhibitions have received wide media coverage in Italy and France. ICROSS public health work has been cited internationally, medical work has appeared in key scientific journals since 1981.
([Elmore-Meegan]), currently International Director, was featured in BBC's Hardtalk current affair's programme for his work for ICROSS[2] while in 2006 the organisation was the subject of an award-winning documentary by Irish Television.[3] ICROSS and its Founders have received widespread recognition for their work, especially in long term public health and creating lasting community development programmes.[citation needed]
In 2013 ICROSS extended its programmes internationally building on over three decades of disease control experience. It established a new Overseas Internship programme extending its 25-year history of Internship support.[citation needed] In May 2013 it extended its localisation strategy and began a radical low cost innovation plan with local tribal communities. In Fall 2014 ICROSS launched its radical Strategic plan 2015–20 that has seen dynamic changes in its Global direction. ICROSS work is widely cited and the administration is entirely Africanized since August 2000.[citation needed] The International Director Dr ([Michael Elmore-Meegan]), a specialist in International health, has supervised the Public health Research programme publishing in major Peer review journals since 1983. Together with Dr E Sequeira, Dr A. Soita and D.Ngwiri, ICROSS continues to implement long term public health innovations.
