Verband Internationale Dienste (vidi)

Verband Internationale Dienste (vidi) is a German umbrella association (Dachverband) for international volunteer and professional services. Formerly known as AKLHÜ, vidi describes itself as the civil-society specialist body for international volunteer and professional services. It networks more than 60 organisations that send or receive nearly 4,000 professionals and volunteers in worldwide assignments, or host them in Germany. As a central specialist and advisory body, vidi supports and acts as a voice for its member organisations, forming what it calls the largest network of international professional and volunteer services in Germany. vidi's work focuses on promoting voluntary and professional engagement worldwide, strengthening quality development in programmes, and representing the interests of its members vis-à-vis politics and society. Its thematic fields include making volunteer services accessible, political advocacy, and quality assurance. It is a coordinating member of the Bundesforum Freiwilliges Internationales Jahr (Bundesforum FIJ), the central civil-society coordinating body for state-funded international volunteer services in Germany, where the five major umbrella associations and other key provider organisations work together across associations to bundle positions and coordinate advocacy at the federal level. vidi is a voluntary association (eingetragener Verein) under German law, based in Germany, and operates as a non-profit umbrella organisation rather than a commercial company. Its members are organisations active in international volunteer and professional service programmes. Through initiatives such as the Freiwilliges Internationales Jahr (FIJ), which brings together over 100 organisations, vidi aims to provide orientation, secure quality, and enable engagement.
