Picture in a circle of speaker Valeria Emmi with quotation underneath, which ways "If CESVI were not part of an EU network, its ability to influence policy and amplify its impact would be significantly reduced."CESVI is an independent, Italian not-for-profit organisation supporting people affected by poverty, conflict and natural disasters. Our mission is to turn social justice into action by empowering communities —especially women, children and marginalised groups— to achieve autonomy and dignity, while addressing the root causes of crises and strengthening sustainable, locally driven development. But to create lasting change, we need to work together. This is why CESVI is a member of Alliance2015, working alongside like-minded NGOs to heighten our impact. Together, we recognise that strong, inclusive policies must be based on evidence.

CSE logo and EU co-funded logo on top right, with 'Let's Protect Democracy' underneath. Towards the bottom it says 'The democracy shield is an opportunity for the EU to safeguard its democratic foundations. Find out how it can be fulfilled properly.'The European Centre for Democratic Resilience must live up to its name. We support the goal of a Centre that is a focal coordination point for different aspects of the Democracy Shield. Interference against democratic institutions must be dealt with by supporting independent institutions, fact-checking, and institutional and civic electoral resilience.We must protect the media and information space. The Commission and Parliament have underlined the importance of implementing the European Media Freedom Act (EMFA), the Digital Markets Act (DMA), the Digital Services Act (DSA), as well as the AI Act. We support the thorough application of these acts. There must be no attempt to water down these digital protections.

Alliance2015 plays a pivotal role in shaping EU food security and humanitarian action by providing evidence for advocacy tools like the Global Hunger Index. Through this, we aim to encourage EU decision-makers to create more resilient food systems that can respond effectively to hunger and longer crises. This is reflected in stronger humanitarian aid programmes that include local leadership and a more integrated approach to such challenges. For people affected by crisis and food insecurity, this translates into more effective support systems: better access to nutritious food, greater resilience to shocks, and assistance that reaches those who need it most.
To achieve change at national level, CESVI connects EU commitments with practical action through Alliance2015, strengthening cooperation programmes. Without this partnership, CESVI’s ability to influence policy would be significantly reduced, with less access to shared evidence, advocacy platforms, and strategic policy dialogue. For society, this would mean less effective humanitarian and development action overall. Policies would risk becoming more fragmented, less evidence-driven, and less responsive to crises like hunger, climate shocks, and forced displacement.
Democracy must be supported by a vibrant civil society and sufficient funding. The shield overlooks civil society’s role in boosting resilience: from civil protection to tackling climate change, civil society responds to a wide range of societal challenges. Democracy must also be supported through sufficient funding in the EU’s long-term budget. A strong AgoraEU programme is needed to uphold the shield’s goals.
