MCNL has offices in The Hague and Brussels, and is part of the world-wide organisation Mercy Corps which consists of Mercy Corps Global (MCG), a US entity registered in Washington State and its field operations, including branches and local organisations (located in approximately 40 countries) and Mercy Corps Europe (MCE), a UK entity with offices in Edinburgh and London.

Mercy Corps Netherlands works to influence key EU decision-makers and institutions to address the impacts of conflict and climate change, working to influence EU policies that affect the following:
Food Security: People are well-nourished at all times, with access to sustainably produced, safe, and nutritious food.
Water Security: People have equitable and sustained access to clean and safe water to meet their everyday needs.
Economic Opportunities: People grow and sustain their assets and income.
Peace and Good Governance: People reduce or prevent violence, contribute to advancing sustainable peace, and participate meaningfully in inclusive and responsive governance systems.

The list below covers meetings with Commissioners/Cabinet members/Directors-general (high-level) Commission meetings published December 2014 to December 2024, and the meetings of Commissioners/Cabinet members/Directors-general and officials holding "management functions" in the Commission published since 1 January 2025. Other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may well have taken place, but the Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. All information below comes from the Commission and not from the registrant.
1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
