CHD has united actors from emergency relief to development around the world since 1983

The Coordination Humanitaire et Développement (Humanitarian & Development Coordination — CHD) brings together organisations carrying out a wide range of emergency, reconstruction and/or development projects around the world. It is one of the leading collectives of international solidarity NGOs in France.

In accordance with its mission statement, the Coordination Humanitaire et Développement carries out its missions and activities on the basis of two core principles of action.

Unite and encourage

Represent
