ACHA is a forum to
strengthen African civil society organisations (CSOs)
through enhanced dialogue, development of collective
views and actions, articulation of an African-minded
agenda on humanitarian issues of concern to African
CSOs, and improved leverage. It acts as an African
voice at an international level, informing, impacting,
alerting and inspiring the international community,
thereby shaping humanitarian thinking, practice and
organisation. It enhances the visibility of African
CSOs worldwide, thus facilitating their relationship
with institutional donors. It advocates policies and
practices determined by African CSOs, in consultation
with actors concerned with humanitarian action on the
continent.
