Our Organization

WECF was offically registered as a foundation in 1994 and today has four coordinating offices: in Utrecht, the Netherlands; in Munich, Germany; in Annemasse, France and an office coordinating region work in the Caucasus in Tblisi, Georiga. Furthermore, the French office coordinates a country office in Geneva, Switzerland. The WECF offices are organised into one international organisation, with headquarters in the Netherlands, which manages the networking, projects and finances.

WECF historically focussed its project implementation on the European region as well as Caucasus and Central Asia, bringing lessons learned to international policy processes.
