The Council for International Development was formed in 1985 by a small group of aid and development agencies which identified the need to coordinate some activities and present a single voice on issues of common concern. Today it has over 80 members that include most of New Zealand's major Non Governmental Organisations that work in aid and development. It:
- provides a forum for discussion of cooperative action on international aid and development issues
- strengthens national and international links between organisations and individuals involved in international development
- liaises with the NZ Government, the International Development Group and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade
- raises issues with political parties on international aid and development issues
- works to increase public awareness of international development needs and issues
It facilitates the Non-Governmental Organisations Disaster Relief Forum, an open forum for New Zealand-based NGOs that have an interest and involvement in international humanitarian response and emergency management issues. This is an autonomous sub-committee.
