The NGO Support Centre is an independent, non-governmental, non-profit organization dedicated to the development and strengthening of civil society in Cyprus.

Established in December 1999, the NGO Support Centre has since developed a substantive experience and expertise in the fields of active citizenship, peace and reconciliation, development education, human rights education, intercultural dialogue, and participation.

Since 2017 the NGO Support Centre, in partnership with Rooftop Theatre, serves as co-head of the Cyprus Network of the Anna Lindh Foundation.

The Anna Lindh Cyprus Network is an association of Cyprus-based civil society organisations, which promotes intercultural dialogue both within the island and in the region.
