Promoting Israeli action
in the fields of international development and humanitarian aid
to drive global change
SID-Israel is the umbrella organization of the Israeli professional community in international development and humanitarian aid, bringing together civil society organizations, government institutions, academic and research programs, private companies, consultants, and independent experts.
We work to create a supportive professional environment, based on the exchange of knowledge and experience, creating a clear roadmap for Israeli action in the world, education and training, cross-sector professional development, as well as raising awareness of the topic among the general public and decision makers.
