Info Members: HEKS/EPER Swiss Church Aid, being a Switzerland-based organisation, does not have dedicated staff for EU engagement. Most of our policy and advocacy work is done through networks mentioned above. However, different staff, mostly at country-level, engage with EU representatives on specific thematic issues relevant to our work in humanitarian aid and international development. Hence, providing an accurate estimate is difficult.
