💭 We continue to put a spotlight on stories of positive impact from civil society. This week, we hear from Eleni Karaoli, Chairperson of the Cyprus Anti-Poverty Network. Learn more about our ‘Voices of Millions campaign’ here: bit.ly/4tqscgh #VoicesOfMillions #ThePowerOfMany #EUCivilSociety

Cyprus Anti-Poverty Network represents over 15 civil society and non-profit groups in Cyprus. We work towards reducing poverty and promoting social inclusion for vulnerable groups. Our goal is systemic change so everyone can live with dignity and equal opportunity.

We were established to represent Cypriot civil society within the European Anti-Poverty Network (EAPN). Joining the EU network gave us access to expertise, evidence-based policy tools, and coordinated advocacy at EU level. This connection amplified our voice with national authorities and allowed shared strategies and best practices to be adapted in Cyprus.

A major achievement was contributing to the development of the national Guarantee Minimum Income (GMI). EAPN provided expertise, policy papers, and arguments that helped shape our national advocacy and submissions to authorities. As a result, the GMI now supports people in real need. Without benefits, poverty in Cyprus would be about 34%, whereas with benefits it falls to around 17%. Another result is progress on a required minimum wage for certain low-paid jobs, which helps prevent exploitation and raises basic income.

As we’re led by volunteers, we rely on the research, policy papers, training, and advocacy tools produced by EAPN. These resources allow us to produce informed positions and run targeted campaigns on themes like women’s poverty, energy poverty, and in-work poverty.

Working together also helps us respond collectively to directives, regulations, and strategies at EU level (e.g., EU Anti-Poverty Strategy).

Without EU networks, we would lose access to these crucial tools. National advocacy would be less informed about EU processes, weakening our influence. Society would face fragmented efforts, which would lead to less progress on poverty reduction.

We need to work together for change. This week, we hear from Valeria Emmi at CESVI as part of ‘The Power of Many’ series from our ‘Voices of Millions’ campaign! Learn more: bit.ly/4svMm7X #VoicesOfMillions #ThePowerOfMany #EUCivilSociety

Picture in a circle of speaker Valeria Emmi with quotation underneath, which ways "If CESVI were not part of an EU network, its ability to influence policy and amplify its impact would be significantly reduced."

CESVI is an independent, Italian not-for-profit organisation supporting people affected by poverty, conflict and natural disasters.

Our mission is to turn social justice into action by empowering communities —especially women, children and marginalised groups— to achieve autonomy and dignity, while addressing the root causes of crises and strengthening sustainable, locally driven development.

But to create lasting change, we need to work together. This is why CESVI is a member of Alliance2015, working alongside like-minded NGOs to heighten our impact. Together, we recognise that strong, inclusive policies must be based on evidence.

Alliance2015 plays a pivotal role in shaping EU food security and humanitarian action by providing evidence for advocacy tools like the Global Hunger Index. Through this, we aim to encourage EU decision-makers to create more resilient food systems that can respond effectively to hunger and longer crises.

This is reflected in stronger humanitarian aid programmes that include local leadership and a more integrated approach to such challenges.

For people affected by crisis and food insecurity, this translates into more effective support systems: better access to nutritious food, greater resilience to shocks, and assistance that reaches those who need it most.

To achieve change at national level, CESVI connects EU commitments with practical action through Alliance2015, strengthening cooperation programmes.

Without this partnership, CESVI’s ability to influence policy would be significantly reduced, with less access to shared evidence, advocacy platforms, and strategic policy dialogue.

For society, this would mean less effective humanitarian and development action overall. Policies would risk becoming more fragmented, less evidence-driven, and less responsive to crises like hunger, climate shocks, and forced displacement.

🐾 Improving the lives of millions of animals should be a priority. Today, ‘The Power of Many’ brings a story from David Garrahy, External Affairs Manager at World Animal Protection. Learn more here: bit.ly/4tqscgh #VoicesOfMillions #ThePowerOfMany #EUCivilSociety

World Animal Protection is a global organisation that wants to mobilise the world for animal wellbeing. We are dedicated to ending cruel factory farming and stopping the commercial exploitation of wild animals.

We do not operate alone, but are part of the wider EU network Eurogroup for Animals. We decided to join this network because working together with allies amplifies impact and can produce real change for billions of animals.

We have already seen steps towards the legal protection of animals that have been pushed by organisations like ours, facilitated by belonging to an EU network. For instance, working together with nearly 100 partners across Europe, we pushed a campaign forward to support the European Citizens’ Initiative “End the Cage Age”. In reply to the initiative, the European Commission set out plans for a legislative proposal to end the use of cages in farming.

This is a huge move forward for animal welfare, something that will make the treatment of animals more humane in the coming years.

The existence of EU networks clearly helps us carry out our mission at national levels. Our offices in Thailand, Brazil and China often engage with these networks for inspiration and guidance regarding upcoming developments in animal welfare.

In a scenario in which EU networks did not exist, our work would be much more difficult. Our ability to carry out campaigns to improve the lives of animals would be fragmented and society would be clearly negatively affected.

⚖️ Only advocacy that remains close to people can be fair and sustainable. Today, we hear from Jan Bazyl, director of Grupa Zagranica, as part of ‘The Power of Many’ series. Learn more about CSE’s ‘Voices of Millions’ campaign here: bit.ly/4tqscgh #VoicesOfMillions #ThePowerOfMany #EUCivilSociety

Read Jan's story: Grupa Zagranica gathers 62 Polish civil society organisations working in humanitarian aid, international cooperation and global education. Our mission is to boost public knowledge about global challenges and monitor Polish international cooperation. We act as a representative voice for the sector, making sure that aid is about actual impact.

We act by listening. Our secretariat is like a “helpdesk” for members that connects them with partners. Since our members work on the front lines, their priorities become our priorities and shape our advocacy.

We gather their expertise and channel it to decision-makers in Warsaw and Brussels. It is a way to ensure that policies reflect real needs.

With time, this has led to tangible changes. Grupa Zagranica helped shape Poland’s 2011 Development Cooperation Act, the first legal framework for Polish aid, ensuring that resources are used effectively on the ground. We also influenced national school curricula, so that young people grow up with a better understanding of issues such as climate change or migration.

Through the recent EU Presidency Project, we’ve supported small local organisations to bring topics like climate justice and decolonial education to their communities. This way, we have managed to spark broader public conversations.

Since most Polish organisations are small, being part of an EU network like CONCORD really matters. It gives us “insider” knowledge of how the EU works, as well as legitimacy in front of national authorities. We are seen as part of a wider European force.

If these networks disappeared, policies would be driven only by political and economic interests, far from people’s realities. The human side of cooperation would fade, and with it, fairness and sustainability.

As part of ‘The Power of Many’ series, we hear from Yulia Ralko of the Belarusian National Youth Council (RADA), member of the European Youth Forum. Learn more here: bit.ly/4tqscgh #VoicesOfMillions #ThePowerOfMany #EUCivilSociety

Read Yulia’s story: The Belarus National Youth Council (RADA) is a voluntary union of 44 youth organisations, created to consolidate, represent, promote and defend the rights of youth organisations and young people in Belarus. Unfortunately, because of repression in the country, RADA has been operating underground since 2006.

What is our goal? To provide information on youth issues and rights at local and international levels, strengthen cooperation between youth civil society and the EU, and increase the capacity of youth organisations through educational programs.

Even though Belarus isn’t a member of the EU, it’s important for us that Belarusian youth are heard because EU decisions directly affect them. Almost 11,000 Belarusians study in Polish universities and after mass protests in 2020, many young Belarusians were forced to migrate.

Last December, the Bureau of the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities of the Council of Europe appointed a Youth Delegate from the Belarusian democratic movement to the 2026 Congress. This was historic for Belarus. We never had a Youth Delegate before, particularly at a time when democracy is under pressure.

Since many Belarusian young people are forced into exile in Europe, they greatly depend on EU programmes and opportunities, which should remain accessible. This helps promote EU values by offering them a safer, democratic environment to live.

If we could not be a part of an EU network, our society could fall further to Russian propaganda with no clear ways to escape it. We also wouldn’t be able to communicate the needs and ideas of young people in Belarus and give them a voice beyond our borders.

🔊 The lived experiences of persons with disabilities must inform decisionmaking. We hear from Blandine Bouniol, Deputy Director for Advocacy and Institutional Relations at Humanity & Inclusion. Learn more about our ‘Voices of Millions campaign’ here: bit.ly/4svMm7X #ThePowerOfMany #EUCivilSociety

Read Blandine's story: Humanity & Inclusion (HI) works in over 60 countries to create a more inclusive world, where persons with disabilities and vulnerable populations can live in dignity and with their fundamental rights respected. We aim to remove barriers to their participation in all areas of society and make sure that no-one is left behind.

The core of our advocacy is centering the voices of persons with disabilities, as they are usually the most marginalised, and often excluded from aid and decision making. We shape our priorities and policy messages through their lived experiences, and translate them into actionable recommendations for policymakers.

We take this approach because we want policies to be grounded on realities, and believe that this process strengthens the effectiveness of humanitarian and development action.

Our advances are tangible. We played a key role in developing the Charter on Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities in Humanitarian Action, which then led the UN to mandate that service delivery be non-discriminatory and inclusive.

Through sustained advocacy, we influenced the EU to adopt their disability marker, ensuring that all EU-funded humanitarian projects account for disability needs. This shift has improved dignity, autonomy, and access to essential services for millions.

Being part of EU networks, such as CONCORD, enables us to keep constant dialogue with EU institutions and present a unified voice. These networks also create opportunities to amplify the voices of affected individuals, such as when we brought Margaret Arach Orech, a Ugandan landmine survivor, to speak at the European Development Forum.

Without NGO input to EU policies, society would suffer from deeper exclusion and distrust in institutions and humanitarian actors. The shrinking of civic space would silence those in need and invisibilise vulnerable populations, posing a threat to democracy. Our commitment to “leaving no-one behind” makes decisions more critical, effective and inclusive.

🌱Air pollution does not care about borders. Today, we bring you a story from Kajsa Pira, Programme Director at the environmental organisation AirClim, in Sweden. Learn more about CSE’s 'Voices of Millions' campaign here: bit.ly/4tqscgh #VoicesOfMillions #ThePowerOfMany #EUCivilSociety

Read Kajsa's Story. AirClim is a Swedish organisation working on reducing air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. These are issues that do not stop at national borders, which means that collaboration with other European organisations is the only logical approach.
We have achieved concrete policy changes that have positively impacted the lives of people at home and in Europe.

AirClim has been shaping the revision of the Air Quality Directive, accepted in 2024. As an expert organisation, we have provided analysis and expertise on emission measurements, modeling and health effects. Being a member of the European Environmental Bureau (EEB) has been really valuable for this process, since their presence in Brussels allowed for advocacy work on site.

Environmental legislation is largely implemented at EU level, which is reasonable. Air pollution does not know about borders, so reducing it only at national level would not be enough.

We believe our contributions to the new directive, leveraged by collaboration within our EU network, will translate into better health and improved living conditions both in Sweden and the rest of Europe.

We cannot imagine our work without an EU network, since international and especially European cooperation is at the heart of our actions. AirClim would hardly be able to carry out our advocacy efforts without European legislation.
