Główne inicjatywy UE, których w poprzednim roku dotyczyły działania objęte zakresem Rejestru służącego przejrzystości:

ACP Civil Society Forum has been selected as observer to the European Commission CAP Advisory Group meetings on International Aspects of Agriculture 2012 http://ec.europa.eu/agriculture/consultations/advisory-groups/cap/index_en.htm
ACP Civil Society Forum participated in 2012, 2011 and 20100 and in the following meetings and seminars : European Commission CAP Advisory Group meetings on International Aspects of Agriculture 2012, World Bank Civil Society Consultation meetings, EU Trade Seminars in Warshaw, Poland, 2011, and in Prague, Czech Republic, 2010; in Brussels: DG Trade Civil Society Meetings on EPAs, Asean, USA, China, Canada, Japan, Mercosur, Andean, Climate Change, GPS, Trade and SMEs, Trade and Development etc; furthermore the EIAS seminar with ACP-China-EU on Raw Material Strategy; the regional seminars of CTA in Africa and the Caribbean; the regional seminar of the EESC- ACP-EU Follow UP Committee in Ethiopia in July 2010; the EU Structured Dialogue and the BAMAKO seminar in June 2010 through DAKAR Platforme; EIB CSD Annual Seminar; International CS Forum in Dakar, February 2011.
• ACP CSF has been involved in ACP-EU Facilities and Programmes such as ACP Science and Technology, ACP Migration Observatory, Intra ACP Academic Mobility Scheme, ACP Cultures, ProInvest and Mundus ACP II. University of Porto invited ACP CSF as associate partner institution for the Mundus ACP project.
ACP CSF participated in the Seminar on the future of EU-ACP relations in a changing environment organised by the CONCORD Cotonou Working Group, EU NGOs and ACP CSOs from 4 - 5 October 2011 in Brussels. The topics discussed were : what future for the political dialogue between the ACP countries and the EU, what cooperation after the 10th EDF, what do CSOs want; Trade and development; the deadlock of the EPAs? The participants noted that there is no real equal partnership in the ACP- EU relations and dialogue and that there still to much dependency on financial aid. Parliaments, social, economic and civil society stakeholders should be actively involved in the programming of the financial instrument.
With regard to the Economic Partnership Agreements (EPA), "ACP signatories should abide to the principles of the Cotonou Agreement to drive a trade policy which is coherent to the objective of poverty eradication and partnership, if those countries are to advance their trade policies according to their own needs and circumstances".
During a meeting at the ACP Secretariat on Friday 7 October 2011, the challenges for the future of ACP were discussed. These challenges are: the changing EU Architecture, Lisbon Treaty and EEAS, ACP is not longer priority for EU, Aid fatigue in Europe as well in ACP countries and changing geopolitical realities.
ACP aims to continue the North-South dialogue as well as the South-South solidarity.
ACP will go on as ACP, because "it offers more possibilities when Africa, Caribbean and Pacific stay together".
ACP explained its strategy for the Renewal and Transformation 2011-2014:
1. Reinventing the ACP Group
2. Revitalising the ACP Secretariat
3. Enhancing Intra-ACP Trade Cooperation
4. Creating a ACP Investment Bank
A Mea Culpa was spoken towards the ACP CSF and CSOs, who despite the provisions in the Cotonou Agreement were not equipped with and not have been abled to access the resources since 2000. "Article 6 of the Cotonou Agreement empowers the ACP CSOs to be actively involved in the programming, implementation and review. Although it is there legally, ACP CSOs have not been receiving funding, whereas they are key for the success of all programming. The mid term review now is the right time to make sure that ACP CSOs receive the resources that have been denied to them".

Since its establishment in July 2001 with the support of the Belgian EU Presidency, European Commmission and ACP Secretariat, ACP Civil Society Forum has received no funding until now.
The three ACP CSF meetings in Brussels in 2001, 2006 and 2009, that is the travel and accommodation costs of the ACP CSF representatives, were funded by the European Commission and the ACP Secretariat.
The management team of ACP CSF, existing of Chairman Lawman Lynch, Policy advisor Mr. Roosevelt King in Barbados and Legal Advisor Mrs. Joyce van Genderen-Naar in Brussels, as well as the ACP CSF Bureau Members in Afica, Caribbean and Pacific are working on voluntary basis, pro bono.
