In 2024, ACT Alliance hosted its 4th General Assembly in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, graciously
hosted by member YAKKUM. The Assembly brought together members working in over 127
countries, reaffirming ACT’s Global Strategy Hope in Action: Putting People First and our
collective commitment to stand together for justice amid growing global crises.
Discussions focused on protecting civic space, upholding human dignity and rights, advancing
gender, social, economic, and climate justice, and pursuing decolonisation within the Alliance. The
Assembly concluded with a strong resolve to continue working towards a just, inclusive, sustainable, and peaceful world.
The approval of 18 public statements addressing priorities such as the situations in Ukraine and
Palestine, tax justice, and climate change. These statements are an opportunity for the members
to outline priorities, positions and define engagement on a variety of topics.
For the first time, young people fully participated in the Assembly, beginning with a youth pre-
assembly where over 40 youth from more than 30 countries gathered to strengthen local
engagement and build a strong youth movement at regional and global levels.
