Associate News: CONCORD opportunity
CONCORD is the confederation representing European NGOs for relief and development at European level. Its 24 national associations and 18 international networks represent over 1600 NGOs. CONCORD leads reflection and political actions on key development issues and regularly engages in dialogue with the European institutions and other civil society organisations.
The AidWatch Initiative is a pan-European lobby and campaigns initiative monitoring and advocating on the quality and the quantity of aid provided by EU member states and the European Commission, which was launched in 2006. The network is an active group of civil society aid experts from across the 27 EU Member States, working collectively to hold EU MS to account on their aid quality and quantity commitments.
Each year, AidWatch launches an annual report on the quantity and quality of European aid. This report is launched in countries across Europe and used to inform coordinated European lobby work to influence policy makers and hold governments to account on their aid pledges. CONCORD has now published four annual AidWatch reports which have received significant recognition from national governments and EU and international institutions.
The AidWatch annual report will be produced by a consultant employed by CONCORD and based in the CONCORD Secretariat in Brussels for approximately 63 days from January to mid-May. The consultant will work in close cooperation with the AidWatch Report Group, which will provide technical expertise for the drafting of the report, and the AidWatch Coordinator.
