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.
Ahead of the Foreign Affairs Council to be held on 21 April, over 60 organisations write to President von der Leyen, High Representative / Vice President Kallas, and Foreign Ministers of the EU member States to demand concrete action.
We mark three painful years since the outbreak of the conflict in Sudan, a conflict which has devastated Sudanese people, scattered families, destroyed livelihoods and shaken the foundations of the nation.
As humanitarian and human rights organisations that have worked for years in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territory, we are appalled by the Israeli Knesset’s decision to approve a bill that makes death penalty effectively mandatory in the West Bank, and which will de facto apply exclusively to Palestinians.
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.
