CONCORD, also referred to as CONCORD Europe, is the European confederation of non-governmental organisations working on sustainable development and international development cooperation.
It was established in its current form in 2003 and is the main NGO interlocutor with the EU institutions on development policy. As of 2024 it was made up of 57 member organisations, which are national NGO platforms and international NGO networks, representing more than 2,600 NGOs.
The stated goal of the Confederation is to enhance the impact of European development NGOs by combining expertise and accountability. Since 2003, CONCORD has reviewed and protested the EU's policies and practices relation to overseas aid and its commitment to the UN Millennium Development Goals and Sustainable Development Goals, policy coherence for development and funding issues.
