VOICE stands for Voluntary Organisations in Cooperation in Emergencies. It is a network representing 90 professional not-for-profit European non-governmental organisations (NGOs) that implement humanitarian projects and programmes in crisis contexts. Unlike its members, VOICE is not operational.
VOICE is the primary interlocutor between European humanitarian NGOs and the EU institutions, dedicated to fostering effective humanitarian engagement. We use our collective voice towards the EU and its Member States to promote effective and principled humanitarian responses. We advocate for the continued recognition of the key role of NGOs in humanitarian action, and for adequate resources to meet the needs of those living in the most vulnerable contexts and conditions.Main EU files targeted
EU policies on humanitarian aid, disaster risk reduction, triple nexus, resilience, climate change, preparedness, anticipatory actions
EU budget for development and humanitarian aid
EU relations with NGOs and civil society actors
EU sanctions and counterterrorism measures impacting humanitarian aid deliveryAddress

The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.
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.
