Driving Joint Advocacy Action
The LAC RMD Coalition is a regional strategic alliance composed of international non-governmental organizations (NGOs) with a presence across Latin America and the Caribbean. The Coalition seeks to advance joint advocacy and humanitarian coordination to promote and protect the rights of the most vulnerable populations affected by conflict, violence, and disasters.
We work closely with local, national, and regional civil society organizations in both regional and international spaces, fostering meaningful and genuine engagement with governments, United Nations agencies, the international donor community, and other key stakeholders.
