ECOPNET helps its NGOs and NPO partners that have become essential actors especially in the social field, to better work and effect EU policies.

Civil Society Organisations (CSOs)
EU institutions and civil society collaborate through a structured dialogue, thanks to the specific tools. Civil society organisations are crucial development partners as they are the closest to the populations on the ground and thus best placed to know their needs. ECOPNET’s partners who are active within the European civil society include independent actors, organised on a not-for-profit and voluntary basis, and active in different fields, such as poverty reduction, emergency aid, human rights, refugees, environment etc. ECOPNET partners are truly guided and supported to be an effective civil society actor by programs, workshops, newsletters, formal & informal meetings, events etc. We reinforce regional, European and global networks of CSOs and support them to enhance their contribution to governance and development processes.
