InterAction is the largest coalition of U.S.-based international nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) focused on the world’s poor and most vulnerable people. Collectively, InterAction’s more than 180 members work in every developing country. Members are large
and small, faith-based and secular.

InterAction’s comparative advantage rests on the uniquely field and practitioner-based expertise of its members. Throughout the developing world, InterAction members help expand opportunities, exercise leadership in conflict prevention and respond to natural disasters. InterAction works with its members to compile data on their impact around the world and bring the values and experience of the NGO community into the broader development and humanitarian assistance conversation.

Private support for our members, including donations from individuals, totaled nearly $6 billion in 2006, and members received several billion from other sources including the federal government.  Neither InterAction nor its members bear lightly the responsibility of the trust the American people place in us. InterAction leverages the impact of this private support by adhering to high standards of accountability and by insisting that policies and programs are responsive to the realities of the world’s poorest and most vulnerable populations.
