Mission & Goals
The European Alcohol Policy Alliance (Eurocare) is an NGO working on the prevention and reduction of alcohol related harm in Europe. Eurocare's vision is a world free from alcohol related harm. The mission of Eurocare is to advance policies to prevent and reduce alcohol-related harm in European policy decisions on alcohol. We do this by working with policy makers to ensure that alcohol related harm receives adequate political attention at EU level; by promoting the best information and policy research at International, EU and national levels; and by strengthening cooperation amongst civil society organisations through advocacy campaigns, better communication of our actions, and capacity-building regarding all EU policies relevant to alcohol policies.
