About InterAction Advocacy

InterAction is the nation's leading advocate for international relief and development programs. Our advocacy is determined by our member organizations through the Public Policy Committee. These issues include improving the effectiveness of US assistance, increasing the international assistance budget, and shaping the Millennium Challenge Account. InterAction also advocates on issues such asAfghanistan, Iraq, or the HIV/AIDS pandemic when a consensus is reached among our members.

The Public Policy Committee

	PPC Co-chairs:
	Kyle Kinner	CARE
	Chris Vincent	Habitat for Humanity

The Public Policy Committee aims to educate policymakers, the media and the public on international development, refugee and relief programs and policies. The Committee works to coordinate the efforts of member organizations to influence policy and budget priorities in order to maximize effectiveness of advocacy and outreach to the Congress and the Administration.

The Committee’s principle objective is the realization of the objectives in InterAction’s Campaign: The Global Partnership for Effective Assistance, but also includes advocacy on other humanitarian and development issues.

The PPC is comprised of InterAction member organizations that are active in advocacy and outreach efforts on international development and humanitarian issues. It has two co-chairs, both of whom must be located in the Washington DC area. Co-chairs serve two-year terms, are eligible for a total of two consecutive terms, and are elected by the Committee.
