Friends of the Earth International (FOEI) is an international network of environmental organizations in 70 countries..
In contrast to many other NGOs operating internationally, Friends of the Earth International is structured from the bottom up as a as a confederation of groups. Each country has its own separate different organization, which in many cases existed and campaigned in its own right before choosing to affiliate to the global network. The groups conduct their own campaigns and coordinate their activities through the umbrella body Friends of the Earth International. The national groups are often composed of grassroots local groups working in their own areas.
FOEI is assisted by a small secretariat (based in Amsterdam) who provide support for the network and its agreed major campaigns.The executive committee of elected representatives from national groups set policy and oversee the work of the secretariat.
