Communication Activities: In 2018, FEBA Board of Directors decided to create an EU Working Group, which is coordinated by FEBA and is composed of representatives from the membership who deal with European issues. The main aims of this EU Working Group consist in developing thematic expertise on EU topics and facilitating the exchange of information and best practice between FEBA and the membership. In 2023 the EU Working Group is composed of 30 Food Bank representatives from 22 FEBA Members. In 2022, other than organising 10 online and hybrid meetings and facilitating regular exchanges via email, FEBA drafted 5 EU Monitoring Reports covering the most important updates at the EU level concerning its main interests and disseminated 4 policy briefings on key topics (e.g. REACT-EU). Moreover, FEBA and its EU Working Group drafted contributions for 4 open consultations published by the European Commission on relevant issues and policies to play a pivotal role and position Food Banks at the core of the decision-making process. Finally, FEBA contributed to 5 surveys promoted by the EU. FEBA participated in the FEAD Network and then was a member of the Advisory Group for the FEAD Community. FEBA currently participates in the CoP on Material Support, in particular dealing with the ESF+ support addressing material deprivation. On the occasion of the FEBA Annual Forum on Food Aid and Social Inclusion 2022, FEBA released its new publication 'FEAD, REACT-EU, and the European Food Banks Federation: 2021 Implementation Report' with the aim to communicate concise insights on the implementation of these Funds on the ground, taking into account the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. FEBA actively contributes to the EU Platform on Food Losses and Food Waste, which was established in 2016 and brings together key players from the public and private sectors, ranging from EU institutions to experts from the EU Member States, as well as relevant stakeholders. FEBA also has been selected for the Platform's second mandate (2022-2026) and supports the work of the sub-groups on food donation, action and implementation, and food loss and waste monitoring. Moreover, FEBA took part in the pilot project “Food redistribution in the EU – Analysis of the existing frameworks and dissemination opportunities” promoted by the European Commission (Directorate-General of Health and Food Safety – DG SANTE). In this framework, between 2019 and 2020, FEBA organised 10 stakeholders‘ dialogues. FEBA is also active on several social media, such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, and Twitter.
