The Council for International Development Incorporated of Aotearoa/New Zealand/Te Kaunihera mo te Whakapakari Ao Whanui o Aotearoa

The Council for International Development (CID) is the national umbrella agency of international development organisations in New Zealand. It helps the NGO sector co-ordinate its activities, particularly during natural disasters in the Pacific, and to speak with one voice on common issues to the government and to the public. It supports ‘best practice’ in the sector by disseminating research and analysis on how to be effective, providing training for staff in NGOs, NZ Defence force personnel and other organisations. It also hosts talks, debates and provides a platform for the sector and government to come together.
