AIACA is an apex body that has been working on a range of issues, since 2004, to promote market-led growth for the crafts sector; and increased incomes and improved living standards of crafts producers. Over the past decade, AIACA has conducted policy research and advocacy on a range of issues including access to credit for crafts producers and environmental and health and safety standards for the sector; developed a crafts-certification system called the Craftmark; assisted sales and outreach of member producer groups and enterprises through commercial trade catalogues, trade fairs and order fulfillment; and assisted in developing and strengthening back-end production systems through a range of product design and business development services. We have worked with more than 150,000 artisans across 25 states in India.
AIACA proposes to expand and strengthen its membership so that it can better represent the diverse voices in the crafts ecosystem and can work to address, impact and change the policy environment for the collective betterment of artisans and craft enterprises. While building the membership network, regular activities will be carried out to engage with the existing members so as to retain and attract members. Outreach, communication and policy consultations will be a continuous activity to create and sustain memberships. Especially in these times of COVID, the idea is to come together with all our collective strengths, much like a Kutumb, “family”.
Individuals have to be above 18 years of age and a resident of India to be eligible. Firms have to be incorporated/formed in India.
