Act on anaemia, join the Anaemia Action Alliance
By collaborating on anaemia reduction, efforts can improve the lives of millions, leading to better health, narrowed gender gaps, and empowering future generations to escape poverty.
Who can join?
The Alliance welcomes participation from organizations that are actively involved in preventing, diagnosing, or managing anaemia.
The structure of the Alliance reflects varying modes and levels of engagement, from participation in the Stakeholders' Forum to active membership in the Core group and Working groups. The governance and structure of the Alliance is designed to facilitate coordination of activities, to ensure activities align with the Alliance’s overall mission and objectives while managing risks including conflict of interest.
The Core group and Stakeholders’ Forum may consist of government organizations, including technical institutions, intergovernmental organizations, and eligible non-State actors (i.e. non-governmental organizations, philanthropic foundations, and academic institutions). While business associations and private sector interest groups cannot be members of the Core Group, they are welcome to participate in the Stakeholders’ Forum through their constituencies.
