Background
The Asia Development Alliance (ADA) was established on 2 Feb. 2013 at the founding assembly in Bangkok, Thailand. The founding assembly was initiated by four national CSO/NGO platforms – VANI (India), CCC (Cambodia), Code-NGO (Philippines) and KCOC (Korea) – with the support from International Forum of National NGO Platforms (IFP), CIVICUS Affinity Group of National Associations (AGNA) and Good Neighbors International (GNI) in partnership with Global Call to Action against Poverty (GCAP) Asia.
ADA has been functioning as a regional network of the following national CSO/NGO platforms in terms of capacity-building, awareness-building and coordination as well as an interface between global and national NPs in the engagement in the post-2015 development agenda process.
