Welcome to ACT Alliance EU – a network of European church-based humanitarian and development NGOs.
We long for a world where all people, in all their diversity, live a life marked by dignity, free from poverty, and in societies that are just and fair.
Along with our members, we advocate for humanitarian and development policies and actions that enable lasting social, economic and environmental change.
We emphasise the importance of a diverse and vibrant civil society. Central to our work is the conviction that local communities and actors are best placed to lead change and make informed decisions about how development and humanitarian aid can meet their needs.
What does a genuine win-win partnership mean when Europe and its international partners have different interests and priorities? At a European Parliament dialogue, business and faith-based development perspectives highlighted how locally driven solutions can deliver benefits for both.
IHL Manual a vital compass for the muddied waters of navigating and upholding international humanitarian law.
In a joint letter, over fifty human rights and humanitarian organisations and trade unions write to urge the European Commission to propose a regulation to prohibit EU trade with Israel’s illegal settlements.
We advocate for social, economic and environmental justice and for all people to enjoy their fundamental rights.
Civil society plays a vital role in promoting democracy, gender equality and social protection.
We advocate for a shift in power towards local actors, who face huge barriers to funding and decision making in humanitarian response.
As Israel's key economic partner and a major Palestinian donor, the EU holds a pivotal role in advancing a just peace in Israel and Palestine.
We are a diverse network of 13 European church-based NGOs working on disaster relief, poverty alleviation and sustainable development.
We are also linked to the global ACT Alliance, a network of 145 Protestant and Orthodox churches and humanitarian organisations operating in over 120 countries.
