Who we are
ALIMA (The Alliance for International Medical Action) is an alliance of doctors, local NGOs, and researchers. Together, we are reinventing humanitarian medicine by placing innovation, research, and co-construction at the heart of our action, in order to respond more effectively to current and future health crises.
In 2025, we are expanding our activities in West and Central Africa, as well as in East Africa and Haiti. Our Project Coordinators play a central role in our operations: they serve as vital connectors between field teams, partners, donors, and the communities we support. Through their leadership, each project becomes a catalyst for positive transformation.
We are launching a recruitment campaign to build our pool of Project Coordinators. Join us to build, innovate, and impact lives.
