Organisation & Membership
Through its members, ERGO Network is connected to community based organisations, leaders and Roma youth branches in over hundred Roma communities in seven countries. They understand local dynamics and contexts and can create bottom-up pressure on administrations to take positive action to address Roma exclusion.
ERGO Network operates as an independent foundation. As a grassroots platform, its activities reflect common concerns and ownership of priorities, objectives and approaches between ERGO Network and its members.
Programmes, initiatives and actions are developed and implemented in consultation and cooperation with its members.
Full and associate members are assembled in ERGO Network’s Members Platform, which meets annually to discuss work plan and initiatives and to share information and knowledge. Full members are additionally represented in the Advisory Council, which has the prerogative to propose board members and is involved in strategic decisions. Associate members have the possibility to apply for full membership.
ERGO Network staff is based in Brussels (office) and Utrecht (secretariat). The ERGO office serves the interests of its members at European level and facilitates the daily activities of the network. The office is also responsible for research and policy and programme development.
The secretariat is the administrative centre of ERGO Network, which ensures the conditions for its activities and manages financial matters. Strategy, work plans and audits of ERGO Network are overseen by an independent Board, comprising both Roma and non-Roma members.
