The Greek Committee for International Democratic Solidarity (EEDDA) is a Greek non-governmental, non-profit making, public welfare organisation, which was established in September 1981 aiming at solidarity with the people's movements of Asia, Africa and Latin America and all other peoples fighting for their national independence and sovereignty, for peace and social justice. EEDDA's members are high level and secondary level trade-union organisations (workers, civil servants, bank employees), trade unions, women's associations, peace movements, personalities of social life and natural persons, who want to contribute actively to the realisation of its goals. Within EEDDA we have departments dealing with either specific geographical regions or with specific issues.

We are an independent, non-profit and non-governmental North-South Initiative. Since 1991, we have been active on the German, European and international level concerning issues such as trade, environment and North-South relations.

Without structural changes in the industrialized countries of the North, an ecological and socially just development worldwide cannot be achieved. We dedicate our commitment to those people in the South who are particularly affected by the negative impacts of globalization as well as the consequences of our way of life and the structure of our economy.

The main topics of our work are:

• Climate protection, climate justice and acceptance of responsibility
• Food security through fair rules in world trade
• Binding social and ecological rules for multinational corporations
• Sustainable investment

We work in close coordination with organizations and people from developing countries, creating platforms for them and giving them support. In order to reach our goals we network with other organizations in Germany, Europe, the US and in the South. We also try to develop and implement intelligent solutions in targeted strategic alliances with constructive partners in companies and trade unions. Most of the funding for Germanwatch comes from donations, membership fees and project grants.

We are an organisation that deals with development issues / development awareness raising and global education, fair trade promotion, we also have Fair trade salepoints in Prague and Brno and import limited range of Fair trade products.
