The ALF runs the largest and most diverse Network of civil society organizations involved in the promotion of intercultural dialogue across the Mediterranean. From its very beginning, the ALF was conceived as a Network of National Networks, established in each of the 43 countries of the Union for the Mediterranean and bringing together more than 3000 civil society organizations who share the values of the Foundation. Each Network is headed by an institution or civil society organization who participates in the development and implementation of the Foundation’s programme.

Joining the Anna Lindh

Civil society and groups working in one of the 43 Union for the Mediterranean countries have the possibility to apply through the ALF website to become a member of the National Network in the country where they operate. Membership of the Network entitles them to have access to partners around the Region and to apply to take part in the ALF activities and grant schemes for local and transnational projects, as well as shaping the work of the National Network.

Networking Opportunities

The Anna Lindh Network is a meeting point of many hundreds of civil society groups, non-governmental organizations and institutions in search of partners and friends in other Euro-Mediterranean countries. Partnership is developed through the information provided by the Anna Lindh website portal, the participation in training seminars and in regional and thematic meetings, and the development of projects through the grant schemes.
