LandsAid is an associate member of VENRO

Working Together for a Strong Civil Society and Better Conditions for Humanitarian Aid

Active participation and professional exchange

Official guest member

November 2026. The VENRO Executive Board has approved our application for associate membership. As of November 1st, 2026, LandsAid will officially be an associate member of the Association of German Non-Governmental Organizations for Development Policy and Humanitarian Aid.

We look forward to active participation, professional exchange, and successful collaboration with other organizations in the fields of humanitarian aid and development cooperation.

As an aid organization with more than 20 years of experience, we know how important international cooperation and a strong civil society are. Through our guest membership, we aim to contribute our experience from project work, advance shared causes, and help ensure that humanitarian aid and development cooperation retain their necessary priority in the face of growing crises and increasing needs.

As a small, flexible aid organization, it is important to us that smaller organizations also have access to funding and networks. They do important work on the ground but often lack the resources and structures of large international organizations. We want to bring their perspective into the professional dialogue at VENRO and advocate for their experiences and concerns to be taken into account when shaping the framework conditions for humanitarian aid and development cooperation.

Strengthening local partner organizations is a particular priority for us. They understand the needs of the local people and implement our projects. We want to strengthen their expertise, autonomy, and capacity to act. This requires reliable funding conditions, collaborative partnerships, and fewer bureaucratic hurdles.

From our experience, we know how important it is to involve local organizations as equal partners in the planning and implementation of aid projects. Their knowledge and expertise are crucial for tailoring support to meet local needs and strengthening local structures in the long term.

Together with VENRO and its member organizations, we are committed to providing needs-based, independent humanitarian aid, long-term development cooperation, and the protection of human rights. In light of growing humanitarian crises and declining public funding, it is important that Germany and the international community live up to their responsibilities and provide sufficient funding for this work.

VENRO is the Association of German Non-Governmental Organizations for Development Policy and Humanitarian Aid. It comprises more than 145 German organizations active in development cooperation, humanitarian aid, and development policy education, public outreach, and advocacy. The association represents their interests in the political arena, strengthens the role of civil society, and advocates for global justice, human rights, and the preservation of natural resources.
