About Alliance2015

Alliance2015 is a strategic network of seven European non-government organisations engaged in humanitarian and development action. Our members are ACTED/France, Ayuda en Acción/Spain, Cesvi/Italy, Concern Worldwide/Ireland, HELVETAS /Switzerland, People in Need/Czech Republic and Welthungerhilfe/Germany.

Founded in 2000 to foster and nurture collaborations for greater scale and impact towards the Millennium Development Goals, Alliance2015 is a strategic and operational network of European-based international NGOs, working towards the broader vision of Agenda 2030 and a world free from poverty, hunger, injustice and inequality. We are engaged in partnerships of different types and at different levels, and Alliance2015 members are our first partnership of choice.

Alliance2015 members are progressive organisations, with deep roots in our countries of foundation. We are considered ‘medium sized’ in the INGO context (with annual budgets ranging from €30m-350m) but with a large overall footprint of around €1bn, operating in 90 countries.

Our values

Alliance2015 members adhere to the values of the UN Declaration of Human Rights and are committed to the eradication of absolute poverty and to greater social equity. We promote the principles of aid and development effectiveness including that of greater accountability and transparency. We aspire collectively to becoming a stronger European and global player in selected areas of development cooperation and humanitarian aid.

Alliance2015 members’ diversity is both a strength and a constructive challenge, which we meet by evolving simple rules and tools to learn from and guide our collaboration. Building a partnership is a process in which each member’s input contributes to overall success.
