Strategic Areas
IFCCA supports the global IBD community through five strategic areas: awareness raising, networking, advocacy, research & development, and empowerment.
Our work connects people, drives change, and advances understanding of IBD worldwide — from influencing policy to strengthening patient voices and building knowledge that shapes the future of care.

We are proud to share the Let’s Talk Endoscopy Lexicon, a new patient-focused resource developed in collaboration with patients, healthcare professionals, and engagement experts, together with our partner Johnson & Johnson.
We are pleased to announce the publication of the ENGAGE-IBD Personalised Health Engagement Guide, a new resource developed within the EU-funded miGut-Health project in collaboration with patients, clinicians, and engagement experts. This practical, patient-centred guide offers clear and accessible support for people living with Crohn’s disease and Ulcerative Colitis, helping them manage symptoms, make informed treatment decisions, and navigate daily life with IBD.
