• Climate crisis: impacting us all but some more than others

    October 4th is the feast day of St. Francis who will be known to many as the saint who preached to the birds and more broadly as the patron saint of ecology. It seems appropriate then for this to be the starting date when we launch work with our members on our new strategic priority […]

Compared to a global scale, the […]

  • Adjust and Respond – the experience of organisations working with people with disabilities in response to covid-19

    The covid-19 pandemic has meant a tough year for many. In Europe, while we still face new challenges from emerging variants we have nevertheless benefited from economies and social policies that can offer some measure of protection to those who are most vulnerable.

On our agenda

With 26 organisations, working in 86 countries with hundreds of national implementing counterparts and topics that range from humanitarian action to judicial review, EU-CORD is a diverse network. What unites us is a common commitment to our mission, goals, and values.

In our advocacy work we have identified three priorities for the coming months:

  • Addressing Covid-19 vaccine inequality
  • Communicating the impact that the climate crisis is having on those who are least responsible and most affected
  • Messaging to support members working in Afghanistan

Internally, we are nearing the end of a strategy review that will redefine our programme portfolio and identify the priorities that are most relevant to our members. Read more about our programme portfolio.
