The Platform’s main goals are:

• To promote an increasingly inclusive society, based on values such as equity and solidarity;
   
• To build collaborative mechanisms allowing for the development of societies based on diversity and the respect for human rights;
   
• To encourage non-discrimination policies and promote the dignity of all human beings;
   
• To monitor and influence the design, implementation and evaluation of development and cooperation policies at national and international levels;
   
• To set itself as an important interlocutor for both governmental and supra-governmental organizations in Development Cooperation issues.

The Portuguese NGDO Platform represents a group of about 59 Non-Governmental Development Organizations (NGDOs). NGDOs are private, non-profit legal persons operating in the areas of Development Cooperation, Emergency and Humanitarian Aid and Development Education and Global Citizenship.  

Find our more about our members here (in portuguese).

We work for global justice and sustainable development through political advocacy, civil society capacity building, communication for development, and the promotion of cohesion among our members.

Working Groups are joint working structures composed by Platform’s member organizations. Their objetive is to analyze and reflect on issues related to specific areas of NGDOs' work.

They are an essential piece of organic participation within the Platform, organising their own initiatives, such as knowledge production, workshops, brainstorming sessions, awareness raising actions, training workshops, among others. Currently we have three working Groups:  Aid Watch Working Group, Development Education and Global Citizenship Working Group and Ethics Working Group
