British Overseas NGOs for Development

British Overseas NGOs for Development (commonly called Bond) is the United Kingdom membership body for non-governmental organisations (NGOs) working in international development.[1] Established in 1993, Bond now has over 400 members. These range from large bodies with a worldwide presence to smaller, specialist organisations working in certain regions or with specific groups of people.

Bond is a registered charity under English law.[2]

Bond promotes, supports, represents and, on occasion, leads the work and interests of UK international development organisations.

Campaigns coordinated by Bond include #ProudOfAid,[3] Enough Food For Everyone IF, Make Poverty History and Vote Global.

In 2021, as part of wider cuts to the UK aid budget, the funding for Bond from the FCDO was halved.[4]
