General Assembly 2023

The 14th General Assembly of Cooperation and Development Network Eastern Europe, took place 9-12 March in Warsaw, Poland, hosted by Ostra Zieleń (Polish Young Greens).

Throughout the four days delegates engaged in political and organisational debates, adopted reports & plans, voted for amendments and elected the new Executive Committee.

This year's GA was exceptionally important for two reasons. We updated statutes with several amendments, including a major change of structure in membership - we opened the door for Eastern European organisations from the EU to be more involved members instead of partners. We also took a moment to reflect on our journey and celebrate CDN's 20th anniversary with a lively panel discussion.

Following documents were adopted:

Reports & Plans:

○ Activity Report

○ Financial Report

○ Activity Plan

○ Financial Plan

Statutes and Internal Rules of Procedure we updated;

○  CDN-FYEG Relations Paper Revision

○ Resolution linked to Statutes Amendments 2 - concerning the change of the membership structure

Delegates also amended following documents:

○ Strategy Paper 2022-24

We also welcomed new Observer organisation - Neoi Prasinoi - Young Greens of Greece. While with updating statutes, Ostra Zieleń (Polish Young Greens) and Protests became member organisations.

And finally the General Assembly also elected the new Executive Committee.
