There are a number of global NGO coordination mechanisms and specific member-based organisations or networks at a global level and in the national headquarter countries of CARE members that actively coordinate during emergencies. These include, but are not limited to:

• global NGO coordinating associations (ICVA, SCHR, IWG)
• national NGO coordinating associations in CARE Member countries, for example VOICE (Europe), Interaction (USA), DEC (UK), ACFID (Australia) and Coordination Sud (France)
• quality and accountability networks (such as HAP, ALNAP, Sphere, People in Aid)
• specific partnerships, initiatives or alliance-for example, the ECB project.
