About Us

A network of practitioners...

The network is an open-platform for exchange, coordination and harmonisation between practitioners in the field of European Development Cooperation. Our ultimate goal is to improve and promote harmonised and joint activities between all the European actors, on the implementation level.

...a European initiative

We represent European Donor Agencies and Administrations who are directly involved in implementing development aid. We share experiences, good practices and tools and aim at developing joint operations, in order to deliver a specific European contribution to achieving higher levels of effectiveness in poverty reduction. Thereby, the EU, who is already the world major donor, will also be collectively a more efficient and innovative actor. The guiding principles, working methods and organisational structure of the network are described in the Charter.
