A partner in the movement. Like an organization that is closely related to them in what they are trying to accomplish. They might have a partnership- help each other out monitarily, etc.

Sister used in this content means that 2 companies or in this specific case, societies, that are owned or controlled by a related "mother" company that operate separately from each other but are related by the larger mother company.
For example PMI is the "mother" company who owns and controls both the National Society and the Indonesian Red Cross Society. I believe the jest of the sentence is stating the both sister companies are working together to launch community health activities on Nias Island and merely putting their resources together to make it happen.
