Data.europa.eu for NGOs
In April last year, the EU Open Data Portal and the European Data
Portal consolidated into one service providing access to European data
under the name of data.europa.eu [https://data.europa.eu/en]. This
portal, brought to you by the Publications Office of the European
Union [https://op.europa.eu/], provides access to public data
resources from EU institutions and agencies, EU Member
States, and other European countries. Currently, you can
find over 1 million datasets, from 36
countries, along 13 thematic categories on data.europa.eu. 

If you work for a non-government organisation (NGO), data.europa.eu
can support you in your human aid missions and in achieving the UN’s
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) [https://sdgs.un.org/goals]. To
monitor, for example, SDG 6: _Availability and sustainable management
of water and sanitation for all_, you can use groundwater data from
the UK
[https://data.europa.eu/data/datasets/uk-sustainable-development-goal-6-6-1-groundwater-sub-indicator-1990-2019?locale=en].
With the open data on data.europa.eu you can also:

 	* Target and monitor aid money,
 	* Improve decision making and development programmes,
 	* Track development progress and prevent corruption, or
 	* Contribute to sustainable job creation and economic growth.
