In their own words
“ECDPM is a leading independent think tank that wants to make policies in Europe and Africa work for inclusive and sustainable development. We believe that good policies are extremely powerful. They can tackle society’s biggest problems at the root, lay a foundation for change and play a crucial part in making the global development agenda a reality for all.”

“That is why we want to help institutions and governments across Europe and Africa create policies that work. Our independent policy experts contribute sharp analysis, thorough research and fresh ideas. But making policies work requires stepping off the sidelines too. It means working closely with the people who create, implement and are impacted by policies. We bring different groups around the table, smooth the way for debate and make sure that everyone’s voice is heard. We provide advice and training and design practical solutions together.”
