Many humanitarian and development issues are multilateral in nature. InterAction therefore works to address these issues in partnership with other organizations, building on our history of increased effectiveness through collective effort. Alliances range from informal to more formally defined relationships around areas of mutual interest. Activities include information sharing, coordination of activities, advancement of mutual learning and collective advocacy.

InterAction seeks to operate its alliances according to the following principles and guidelines: actively seek out individual NGOs, platforms and networks involved in the issue being addressed; involve both InterAction member and nonmember organizations with an interest in the issue; ally with relevant international networks; and work bilaterally when appropriate. InterAction maintains both temporary and ongoing international alliances.
