The handbook provides an overview of the EUDs’ structure and areas of focus, suggesting how to effectively approach EUDs and strategise a medium- to long-term mutually beneficial engagement with them. The handbook is a practical and accessible tool, which can be easily shared and disseminated. It can also be a useful basis for an organisation or a coalition of CSOs developing an EU engagement plan in a given country following their programmatic orientations, values, experience and respective added value.
