Partership for Change consists of a number of organisations from various European countries:

• Centrum voor Mondiaal Onderwijs (CMO, the Netherlands);
• Amici dei Popoli (ADP, Italy);

Partnership for Change is a project to raise awareness and political involvement in the question of the Economic Partnership Agreements between the European Union (EU) and the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries. Its main objective is to contribute to greater consistency between the trade, development and international aid policies of the EU and the commitment to fulfilling the Millenium Development Goals and the promotion of human rights and sustainable development.

Our mission is to encourage participatory debate and the exchange of ideas and information about the EPAs.

With that in mind Partnership for Change plans to issue publications to raise awareness of the issues for the general public, development-related NGOs, universities, social movements, educational centres and, especially, people responsible for decision making in institutions of the EU.
