Integral is a global alliance of 16 Christian relief & development agencies, working together to present a more effective response to poverty worldwide. Integral's goal is to see holistic transformation for more poor people, through providing collaborative opportunities for its Members in the areas of Disaster Management & Collaboration.
Integral is responding to the worsening refugee and internally displaced people (IDP) crisis in South Sudan. Integral’s Member Agencies are holding teleconferences to share information and consider funding and operational strategies to maximise the impact of work in South Sudan.
The following Member Agencies are already responding operationally, through their own operations or partners in the field, raising funds, or by sending resources:
CRWRC, Food for the Hungry, MAP International, SEL France,
TEAR Australia, Tear Netherlands, TearFund Switzerland,
TEAR Fund New Zealand, Tearfund UK and World Relief US
Laurie Cook, Chair of the Integral Board and CEO of World Relief Canada, stated, “We sincerely believe that we have the basis for working together in a way that will bring additional resources and take collaborative relief work to a level of efficiency and creativity that will serve those in desperate need so much better than we have ever been able to do in the past.”
We believe that more people in need will be helped if relief and development agencies combine their resources, and put their Christian faith into action by working together. Our overall aim in co-ordinating our response to emergencies is to avoid duplication, so that more funds can be channelled to where they are most needed.
All our Members sign up to the Red Cross Code of Conduct & Sphere Standards, and Integral has developed an agreed Quality Standards Statement.
