InterAction — a coalition of over 180 U.S.-based nongovernmental organizations working around the globe — has revised its mission to focus on civic inclusion and the protection of local civil society in developing countries.
The new strategy is more in line with “the principles of our members,” InterAction President and CEO Samuel Worthington told Devex.
The alliance launches a new strategy every four years, and this edition includes three key goals. The first emphasizes the protection of civic space in the countries where InterAction members work. The second goal — more traditional according to Worthington — focuses on “the broader collective impact” of members. And the third goal — also traditional — focuses on influencing U.S. and multilateral development policy.
