About us
“Towards an open, fair and sustainable Europe in the World”
The slogan of the EU Presidency Project (EUPP) is a call to action for all of us! We join hands to increase public support for a European Union that puts global solidarity, the Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development, development cooperation, human rights, and the inclusive participation of civil society at the centre of its work.
EUPP brings together national and pan-European NGO platforms for development and relief representing the current and upcoming EU Council Presidencies. From January 2025 to June 2026, Grupa Zagranica (Poland), Global Focus (Denmark), CARDET (Cyprus) and the pan-European NGO network CONCORD closely collaborate to advocate for coherent development cooperation policies and positive change in Europe and beyond.
The four partners pursue the efforts of previous EUPP trios. The Irish, Lithuanian and Greek national NGO platforms will then take over the project from July 2026.
Poland
Grupa Zagranica is a platform of 60 Polish non-governmental organizations involved in international development cooperation, democracy support, humanitarian aid and global education.
Denmark
Global Focus is a platform that brings together more than 75 Danish non-governmental organisations engaged in global development, environmental and humanitarian activities.
Cyprus
CARDET is the leading independent research and education Centre in Cyprus, and one of the prominent ones in the Euro-Mediterranean region, dedicated to harnessing the potential of education as a major driver in shaping a better world.
CONCORD
CONCORD is the European confederation for relief and development NGOs. Representing over 2,600 NGOs, we work for a world in which everyone can enjoy well-being and equality.
