Since 1999, the NGO AIDE has been coordinating the National Coral Reef Network, affiliated with GCRMN/ICRI (International Coral Reef Initiative). AIDE is committed to writing national chapters to contribute to the regional and global report on the state of coral reefs (2000, 2002, 2004, 2008; 2017) with the GCRMN (Global Coral Reef Monitoring Network). A solid partnership has been established through a memorandum of understanding, data sharing agreements, and a charter signed with research institutions such as INRAPE COMOROS, other NGOs like CORDIO East Africa and Wild Trust/WildOcean South Africa, ministries (environment, fisheries in the Comoros), universities (University of the Comoros), among others. The NGO has also managed several grants and donor contracts (IOC, UNDP, EU, WB, CEPF).
