Agency for Cooperation and Research in Development

The Agency for Cooperation and Research in Development (ACORD) "was established in 1976 as a consortium of international non-governmental organisations (NGOs), with the purpose of collectively responding to emergency situations in some of Africa's poorest, most crisis prone and marginalised areas...

"Support from founding members and government sources have remained strong with continued funding from donors such as Oxfam Novib, the European Commission, DFID, CIDA, CCFD, the Belgian Government, Interpares, the Dutch Government and various UN agencies."
