ACHA is a membership-based organisation that is headquartered in Addis Abeba, Ethiopia.  It provides services to its members to empower as a means of empowering them to further develop their capacities as humanitarian actors on the African continent.

Mission
Building on existing knowledge and expertise, ACHA aims to unite and strengthen African CSOs, through stronger partnership, increased learning and improved advocacy, in order to achieve greater impact for vulnerable communities.

Rationale
While African CSOs endeavour to give substance to the concept of an African renaissance, it has become obvious that increased unity and co-ordination are necessary if we are to achieve greater recognition of African capabilities and agendas, equal north-south partnerships and increased influence in the humanitarian sphere.
