The Council for International Development (Kaunihera mō te Whakapakari Ao Whanui in Māori) is a charity that works to achieve effective, high-quality international development programmes that focus on the alleviation and eradication of poverty. It works to enhance the capacity and participation of member agencies, the New Zealand government, and other sectors of the New Zealand community.
The Council for International Development was formed in 1985 by a small group of aid and development agencies which identified the need to coordinate some activities and present a single voice on issues of common concern. Today it has over 80 members, including most of New Zealand’s major Non-Governmental Organisations that work in aid and development. It:
- provides a forum for discussion of cooperative action on international aid and development issues
- strengthens national and international links between organisations and individuals involved in international development
- liaises with the NZ Government, the International Development Group, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade
- raises issues with political parties on international aid and development issues
- works to increase public awareness of international development needs and issues
It facilitates the Non-Governmental Organisations Disaster Relief Forum, an open forum for New Zealand-based NGOs that have an interest and involvement in international humanitarian response and emergency management issues. This is an autonomous sub-committee.
