By working on cross-cutting issues which fit into various policy processes, ANPED endeavours to build the capacity of individual NGOs.We provide a link between grassroot activities and regional and international foras, by channelling grassroot concerns at international meetings and then provide feedback to the grassroot level on the outcomes of these processes.

ANPED provides input in various international policy processes, where we endeavour to present the views of our members.

ANPED has Special Consultative status to the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), allowing participation in most UN processes.
