International Alliance for Integration and Sustainability (IAIS) – is a non-profit organisation based in Malta that aims to create an alliance that will provide projects, training courses and networking opportunities to tackle complex social issues like racism, social cohesion, migrant integration, youth empowerment, poverty, climate action, and sustainable development. IAIS has over a hundred networked NGOs in Europe, Asia and Africa ranging from Western and Eastern Europe, Balkans, Caucasus, South East (SE) Asia and North Africa. In less than two years, five of the projects we submitted were provided funding by the European Union under the Erasmus+ programme.

We started off in 2017 as an informal group of young people looking to do some good in the community. We joined the Support, Advanced Learning and Training Opportunities for Youth (SALTO) Network and started to partner up with other international organisations on various projects. In 2018 we registered with Aġenzija Żgħażagħ (AZ/265/2018) and we officially registered IAIS with the European funding programme with PIC: 904838990. On the 26th of July 2019 we were established as a fully fledged NGO registered with the Malta Council for the Voluntary Sector VO/1684
