About Prisma

Prisma is an association with a great diversity of members, who all have the eradication of poverty as their main goal. This internal variety together with the communal focus is the core of the organisation. The complexity and size of the worldwide poverty issue makes co-operation necessary. But also the rapid developments in the world of international development ask for co-operative action.

Development aid is, however, not a technical and value-free activity. All Prisma members work from a Christian conviction and regard their work as an answer on the divine assignment for justice and compassion towards our neighbours. This shared conviction provides a mutual solidarity.


Prisma is active in a great number of areas
• Co-ordination in co-operation, dialogue and reflection;
• Convening meetings which are of importance for the position of Prisma and for the po-sition of her members;
• Co-operative representation in forums in relation to welfare and development aid;
• Establishing sub-committees around common issues which are of importance for the members in the execution of their mandate;
• Mediating between institutional donors and (some of) the members in relation to fund-ing and spending of funds;
• Appointment of professional apparatus if necessary.
