ACT Alliance

Aim of the organisation

ACT Alliance is the largest coalition of Protestant and Orthodox churches and church-related organisations engaged in humanitarian, development and advocacy work in the world, consisting of more than 130 members working together in over 120 countries to create positive and sustainable change in the lives of poor and marginalised people regardless of their religion, politics, gender, sexual orientation, race or nationality in keeping with the highest international codes and standards.

Organisation activities

ACT Alliance is deeply rooted in the communities it serves. It has earned the trust and respect of local people long before large international interventions scale up, and remains steadfast in its grassroots commitments for many years after world attention has shifted elsewhere. This means that every day, ACT Alliance is on the frontlines: - addressing systemic poverty - supporting survivors of disasters, wars and conflicts - training rural communities in sustainable agricultural techniques - helping people adapt to environmental change, - and influencing governments and other key decision makers to safeguard citizens’ human rights.
