European Network of Political Foundations

Independent actors in democracy promotion, development cooperation and political dialogue

The network consists of 51 members and it serves as a platform for political foundations in Europe to exchange with the EU institutions, civil society organisations and research institutes about democracy support, development cooperation and political dialogue



In 2016, ENoP has signed a Framework Partnership Agreement (FPA) with the European Commission, acknowledging the important role of the Network in the fields of development cooperation and democracy support. This FPA marks the set of common interests and objectives of a Strategic Partnership to:

1. Promote an enabling environment for political foundations, civil society and political parties.
2. Encourage participation in policy making processes through political foundations, their partner organizations and political parties.
3. Strengthen the capabilities of political foundations in promoting democracy and developing pluralistic societies.
