We are the CSO Partnership for Development Effectiveness, a platform that unites civil society organisations (CSOs) from around the world on the issue of effective development cooperation.

We work in 117 countries, and our members come from six regions and eight major sectors: faith-based, feminist, indigenous peoples, international CSOs, labour, migrants, rural, and youth. Together, we strive for a more effective development, the kind that truly responds to poverty and inequality.

Towards this end, we promote the human rights-based approach to development, uphold accountability in development cooperation, and build the capacity of CSOs to engage in various advocacy arenas. In all these endeavours, we are driven by the aspirations and struggles of the impoverished and marginalised, and the vision of a free and equal world for all.
