Council for International Development

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Council for International Development (also Kaunihera mō te Whakapakari Ao Whanui in Māori) is a New Zealand organisation that exists to support international development aid programmes that seek to end poverty. It comprises 80 member organisations, including most of New Zealand's most important development organisations.

The organisation seeks to act as a forum for improving the type and capacity of development aid, and to improve the practices of the New Zealand Government, particularly the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade and NZAID (New Zealand Agency for International Development). Because of New Zealand's proximity to the region, the Pacific Islands and Asia are a particular focus.
