InterAction, the largest coalition of U.S.-based nongovernmental organizations engaged in international relief and development, added six new organizations to its membership during the April 18 meeting of the board of directors.
InterAction welcomes the following new member organizations:
- The Association of PVO Financial Managers (APVOFM) is dedicated to strengthening the financial management of the international development non-profit community by sharing knowledge, improving professional skills, acting as a resource for information exchange and working as an advocate for the community.
- The Florida Association for Volunteer Action in the Caribbean and the Americas (FAVACA) promotes social and economic development in the Caribbean and the Americas through volunteer service.
- The National Wildlife Federation, the nation's largest environmental education and advocacy organization, inspires Americans to protect wildlife for our children's future. NWF recognizes that to truly conserve our planet’s land, water and wildlife, we must consider natural resources and the realities of development, poverty and other challenges from a global perspective.
- The ONE Campaign builds public will for greater U.S. involvement in fighting global poverty. ONE works to recruit, nurture and mobilize a large and effective constituency of Americans engaged and activated on issues of global poverty so that the U.S. does its fair share with other nations in partnership with the poorest countries to achieve the Millennium Development Goals. Through public-private partnerships, constituency and grass roots mobilization, ONE plans to create a true sea change in public support for the alleviation of global poverty, and to convert that sea change into effective pressure on the U.S. government to increase funding.
- The World Cocoa Foundation (WCF) promotes a sustainable cocoa economy through economic and social development and environmental conservation in cocoa growing communities.
- The World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA) promotes the protection of animals, prevention of cruelty to animals and relief of animal suffering in every part of the world. WSPA supports humane education programs to encourage respect for animals and responsible stewardship, and laws and enforcement structures to provide legal protection for animals. WSPA believes that good animal welfare leads to better farming, and agricultural and industrial practices that improve the livelihoods of the poor and middle class in the developing world.
