DOCHAS - THE IRISH ASSOCIATION OF NON- GOVERNMENTAL DEVELOPMENT ORGANISATIONS

Dóchas - the Irish Association of Non-Governmental Development Organisations - is the national voice and collaborative hub for Ireland's development and humanitarian NGOs. By bringing together nearly 90 member organisations, Dóchas creates a strong network that enables partners to share expertise, influence policy and amplify impact on the global stage.

The association offers a suite of practical resources for its members, including the Ethical Communications guide, a Safeguarding Charter and a range of training materials. It also curates research on public attitudes to Official Development Assistance, provides a searchable network map, and publishes timely news, reports and campaign updates such as the Climate Finance report and the "Lives on the Line" advocacy for increased ODA.

Through regular events, newsletters and collaborative campaigns, Dóchas connects, collaborates and champions the values of Irish civil society, helping its members deliver effective, accountable and ethically-grounded development work worldwide.
