EUNIDA - The European Network of Implementing Development Agencies

EUNIDA was established in 2000 as a grouping of EU Member State implementing agencies with a public mandate to develop, manage and implement sustainable development programmes on behalf of the European Union.

The purpose of the network is

• promoting the exchange of information between EU implementing agencies,
• devising common strategies in the field of international development activities, especially on behalf of the European Union; and
• implementing programmes and projects of the highest quality on behalf of the European Union.

Implementing projects through EUNIDA means delegating activities to a pan- European grouping of Member State agencies rather than to single Member State organisations. The network carries out innovative and complex technical cooperation and post-conflict programmes, with combined resources and expertise of over 250 Members' offices operating in 118 countries and based on over 40 years of experience in the field.
