EU-CORD

In October 1997, the first gathering of EU-CORD founders met in the immigration area of Schiphol Airport. The founding agencies - Cord, Medair, SEL, Tearfund Belgium, Tear, Tearfund, Woord en Daad, and ZOA were prompted by a desire to show that Christian organisations were making a professional contribution to international humanitarian and development work - through cooperating with each other and interacting with the European Institutions in external aid policy and funding to advocate for inclusive change. EU-CORD was legally established In February 2003... This programme targets CEO and senior leaders within EU-CORD's membership. It aims to extend the opportunity for relationship building beyond General Assembly meetings to foster strategic partnerships in programming, advocacy, and fundraising. We believe that ‘iron sharpens iron' and that by challenging and supporting each other we become stronger... As individual organisations (and as a network) we are an inter-denomination..
