The EPD network is closely following the situation in Israel and the Palestinian territories. We hope that a peaceful situation will be found as soon as possible. We are discussing the developments intensively inside our network with a particular focus on the impact on human rights, the rule of law and democratic institutions.
European Partnership for Democracy (EPD)
Public Policy Offices
EPD is the leading European #Democracy support network, bringing together 19 NGOs to advocate for democracy.
About us
The European Partnership for Democracy is an independent European non-profit organisation supporting democratic transformations outside the European Union. As a network of European civil and political society organisations working on democracy assistance, EPD advocates for a stronger presence of democracy support on the European Union's agenda and facilitates the exchange of knowledge and good practices in democratic transformations around the world. We do this through innovative methodologies based on the development of effective partnerships with organisations in third countries, and the facilitation of political and social dialogue. The EPD network is conceived as a community of practice, i.e. a group of organisations that work together because, by doing so, they can substantially improve the way they operate in the realm of democracy support and provide a comprehensive response to the needs of populations. This notion does not only apply to the EPD as a network and its institutional development, but also to all the actions and partnerships constructed under the EPD banner.
