What is ACT Development?

ACT Development brings together churches and related organisations in a new global alliance aimed at eradicating poverty, injustice and the abuse of human rights. This alliance will focus on long-term development, building on the emergency response work already undertaken by ACT International.

There are currently 74 organisations in the ACT Development alliance with a combined staff of 39,000+ working in 130+ countries with a combined annual budget of around $2,100,000,000.
