Anglicans in Development

Anglicans in Development (AID) is a wholly-owned company of Anglican Board of Mission (ABM). AID operates ABM’s Sustainable Communities Program and its Emergency Response Program.

AID believes that Jesus came that we might have abundant life, and that life extends to the whole person living in community.

AID’s Sustainable Communities Program works with Anglican Church Partners in the Pacific, Papua New Guinea, and parts of Africa, the Middle East, South-East Asia, and with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Anglicans in Australia, to help deliver grassroots community-driven development. We believe that local communities are best-placed to know what programs they want and what assistance they need from our partners. Partners are encouraged to work closely and inclusively with communities to ensure communities drive development projects.

AID promotes a strengths-based approach to development that is inclusive, encourages participation, empowers women, and fosters positive and sustainable change. Through our partners, we support local communities to address climate change, gender equality, disability and social inclusion, to work for improved food security and livelihoods, improved access to water, sanitation and hygiene, adult literacy, and some early childhood projects.

AID also supports partners to respond to humanitarian emergencies overseas, and to domestic disasters in Australia. AID also supports partners to help their communities prepare for emergency situations including adapting to and mitigating the effects of climate change.

AID is proud to be part of CAN and CAN DO.
