IDF Europe - Activities

Advocacy
We voice the needs and rights of the people with diabetes with the European Parliament, the European Council, the World Health Organization—Europe and with other European or regional international bodies.

Support for the development of member organizations
A second but in the same time as important function of the federation is offering support for the development of its members.

Raise awareness about diabetes
IDF Europe directly or via its members increases the awareness of the general population about diabetes and its impact on our daily lives.

Liaise and co-ordinate with other stakeholders in the area of diabetes
Several organizations are interested in diabetes or non communicable diseases. IDF Europe works with many of them to focus and coordinate their pressure and lobby in order to increase the impact of their efforts.

Support and implement specific regional initiatives
The specialists and network of IDF Europe participate in the implementation of different local projects.

Produce evidence about the status of diabetes in Europe
To justify why diabetes should be at the top of the agendas of the politicians we need to bring fresh evidence of the impact of diabetes on any of the citizens of Europe.

The International Summer Youth Camp 2011
Between 22 and 29 of July 2011, IDF Europe will organize a summer camp for young members of our organizations.

Publications
IDF Europe is issueing a number of publications (newsletter, posters, studies) that are offered for the use of our members.
