Hivos (Dutch: Humanistisch Instituut voor Ontwikkelingssamenwerking, Humanist Institute for Development Cooperation) is an international cooperation organization, with its global office in The Hague, The Netherlands. Hivos provides support to civil society organizations working in Africa, Latin America, the Middle East and Asia. It is one of very few INGOs with a distinctly humanist ethos.

The latter involves initiatives dedicated to advancing women’s empowerment and upholding the rights of the LGBTQI+ community.
