What alliance2015 does

Alliance2015 is a Brussels-based strategic network of seven European non-governmental organizations (Acted, Ayuda en Acción, Cesvi, Concern Worldwide, Helvetas, People in Need, and Welthungerhilfe) that coordinates humanitarian aid, development programs, advocacy, and research across 78 countries in Asia, the Middle East and North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, and Europe. The organization was founded in 2015, with the name referencing both its founding year and the post-2015 Sustainable Development Goals agenda, and is legally registered as a Dutch foundation (Stichting Alliance2015) while operating as a Belgian ASBL from its Brussels operations centre. Alliance2015 itself does not deliver programs directly; rather, it coordinates collective action among its seven members, who implement field operations through a network of more than 2,000 partners including nearly 1,300 local civil society organizations.

The organization's work spans four programmatic pillars: climate resilient pathways (including adaptation, disaster risk reduction, and the THRIVE initiative for rangeland restoration), transforming food systems, equitable civil society partnerships, and humanitarian aid. Its research and advocacy output includes co-production of the Global Hunger Index report and ongoing engagement with EU institutions, where it is registered in the EU Transparency Register (595584327712-71). Recent operational activity includes emergency responses in Ukraine (CESVI reaching approximately 180,000 people since 2022), Venezuelan earthquake response via the CONHAVE consortium with ECHO funding, and Myanmar earthquake response (104 tons of aid delivered). The 2026 AGM in Paris, co-hosted by member Acted, prioritized a new Strategy across themes including Models of Collaboration and Integration, Artificial Intelligence, and Strategy Roll-out.

As a non-profit coordination entity, Alliance2015 is funded through institutional donors, government development agencies, and grants rather than commercial revenue. Named funders include the European Union, the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation, Swiss Solidarity, ECHO (European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations), and the City of Zurich. The network does not disclose revenue or headcount figures. Its go-to-market model is community-led: programs are delivered through member organizations and local partners, with EU policy influence pursued through the Brussels-based secretariat. Distribution occurs entirely through the seven member NGOs, making Alliance2015 structurally dependent on member-level execution rather than direct service provision.

Direct peers

• ICVA (International Council of Voluntary Agencies): ICVA is a global network of humanitarian NGOs that convenes voluntary agencies to influence policy and coordination, mirroring Alliance2015's role as a strategic network of seven European NGOs coordinating humanitarian action and engaging EU/UN policy.
• Start Network: Start Network is a multi-agency coalition of humanitarian NGOs that pools resources for early-action and emergency response funding. It is highly comparable as a peer-network model delivering collective humanitarian financing and crisis response across multiple NGOs.
• CHS Alliance: CHS Alliance is a coalition of humanitarian and development organizations focused on accountability, quality, and standards (Core Humanitarian Standard). Like Alliance2015, it is a membership-based entity advancing collective action among humanitarian NGOs and their partners.
• Concord Europe: Concord is the European confederation of NGOs for relief and development, coordinating collective EU-level advocacy on sustainable development and humanitarian policy. It is a direct peer to Alliance2015's Brussels-based EU advocacy function with European NGO membership.

Emerging players

• NEAR (Network for Empowered Aid Response): NEAR is a movement of local and national actors in humanitarian and development action, advocating for the localization of aid. It overlaps with Alliance2015's local-partnership agenda (1,300+ local partners) but focuses more exclusively on shifting power to local actors.

Regional players

• Bond (UK network for international development NGOs): Bond is a UK-based membership network of development and humanitarian NGOs engaged in policy advocacy and learning. Comparable as a peer membership/coordination model for development NGOs, though it operates primarily in the UK rather than pan-European geography.

Broad incumbents

• Interaction (American Council for Voluntary International Action): Interaction is a large US-based coalition of international NGOs and partners operating across humanitarian, development, and policy domains. It is a comparable membership-driven NGO consortium, though broader in geographic and thematic scope than Alliance2015's European focus.
