Politics matter and Political Foundations carry the democratic traditions of European political parties into policy debates and democracy support. Currently, ENoP’s work and expertise is channeled through six working groups on the following topics: Development assistance, Africa‐EU Relations, Democracy support, Enlargement/Neighbourhood, Citizenship and EU Financial Instruments/Aid modalities.
On the occasion of its 10th Anniversary, ENoP hosts this Public Debate on the SDGs, their political dimension, and the unique role of Political Foundations. Inputs will be provided by the Members of the ENoP Advisory Board as well as by representatives of the EU Institutions.
