Information: Membership with European Council on Refugees and Exiles (ECRE)

As from 26 October 2010, the Foundation of Local Democracy became a member of European Council on Refugees and Exile (ECRE). With it, the Foundation joined the pan-European network of nongovernmental organizations, established in 1974 with an aim to strengthen the status of refugees and bring focus on their needs in hosting countries of Europe.  ECRE network has devoted its work to the organisations which are directed on promotion of the status of refugees and asylum seekers, aiming to create an alliance of the organizations from all over the Europe. This way, the work of individual organisations as well as the collective impact on asylum and refugee policies - gain power, ultimately improving the position of asylum seekers and refugees.
