InterAction is the largest coalition of U.S.-based international nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) focused on the world’s poor and most vulnerable people.
At InterAction, we recognize that our global challenges are interconnected and that we can’t tackle any of them without addressing all of them. That’s why we create a forum for leading NGOs, global thought leaders and policymakers to address our challenges collectively. Leveraging our shared expertise, on-the-ground insights from our 180 member organizations and strategic analyses of the foreign aid budget, we deliver a bold, new agenda to end global poverty and deliver humanitarian aid in every developing country.
We believe that we all have a role to play.
Our world’s interconnected challenges demand that we each contribute our unique insights to shape a bold agenda that promotes human dignity and well-being for all.
We believe today’s challenges require new solutions.
Our collaboration will bring about the innovative solutions we need to confront global challenges and achieve global prosperity.
We believe that human stories must give way to a new agenda.
Our solutions must be rooted in our grassroots expertise, bringing human stories and personal experiences to the halls of power.
