EuronAid
EuronAid , most recently based in The Hague , Netherlands, was an association of European non-governmental organizations from 1980 to 2008 to jointly fight hunger.
The organization was founded by eight NGOs.
While large international NGOs can handle food aid alone and smaller ones have to use other organizations, EuronAid was an amalgamation of such smaller aid organizations in order to be able to jointly provide food aid themselves. Up until 1995 it provided the largest single share of NGO food aid with more than 20 percent of total global aid.
In 1995 the organization was largely autonomous from its members. It also bought and distributed food on behalf of the EU.
In 2004, the organization presented the United Nations World Food Program (WFP) with a pilot study using the example of Sudan , which showed that food aid ("Local and regional procurement"; LRP) had hardly had a long-term effect until then, and that at the WFP it caused the Food aids thoroughly examined scientifically.
Most recently, members were Action Contre la Faim , ADRA , CARE Germany , Caritas , Diakonie Katastrophenhilfe , HELP - Help for Self-Help , Aid Organization Austria , the Lutheran World Federation , Oxfam , Plan International , Save the Children , Deutsche Welthungerhilfe and World Vision Germany ,
