European networks for non-governmental organisations
Signposting to European groups of voluntary and community organisations
Non-governmental organisations (NGOs) across the European Union (and increasingly in the candidate countries for accession to the EU) have organised themselves into sectoral networks in order to influence EU policy and funding priorities. By joining a network, you can gain access to up-to-date information about EU developments. You will also have the opportunity to get involved in joint campaigning and lobbying activities targeted at the EU.
