Intelligence Coordination Group

The Intelligence Coordination Group (ICG) is a small team charged with assisting intelligence agencies to provide coordinated and useful information for government decision-making, and with supporting the Officials Committee for Domestic and External Security Coordination (ODESC) in its governance role in relation to those agencies. Its key functions are to lead and coordinate the intelligence community agencies for requirements, priority setting, risk management and functional performance reporting. It also coordinates the New Zealand intelligence community's overall relationships with foreign partners.

The ICG is part of the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet (DPMC) and has a close working relationship with the Security and Risk Group (SRG) and the National Assessments Bureau (NAB) within DPMC. Outside of DPMC the ICG has responsibilities relating to the New Zealand Intelligence Community, particularly the New Zealand Security Intelligence Service (NZSIS) and the Government Communications Security Bureau (GCSB). The ICG also maintains relationships with its counterpart agencies in other jurisdictions.

The current Director of the ICG is Roy Ferguson.
