ATTAC NORGE

What ATTAC NORGE does

Attac Norge is a Norwegian non-profit civil society organization founded in 2001, headquartered in Oslo, and operating as the Norwegian national chapter of the international Attac network. Its mission centers on promoting democratic control over finance, trade, and digital technologies, addressing what it characterizes as excessive concentration of corporate power, insufficient financial regulation, unfair trade agreements, and the climate and nature crisis. The organization does not develop or sell technology products; instead, it produces policy analysis, position papers, consultation submissions, and educational materials, and runs campaigns and events such as the annual Big Tech Must Go festival. Its activities are organized through a democratic structure comprising individual members, local chapters, working groups, a student chapter network, a board, and a small secretariat of 1-10 staff.

The organization's revenue model is membership-driven. Members pay recurring subscription fees — described as the organization's most important income source — via bank transfer, Vipps, or AvtaleGiro, with a stated 2026 growth target of at least 1,700 paying members. A supplementary income stream comes from project-based funding, most notably an agreement with NORAD (the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation) for information work, which also imposes operational guidelines on staff. Pricing tiers for membership are not publicly disclosed. The organization distributes its content and recruits members through its website (attac.no), social media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter), an email newsletter sent via Brevo, public events and demonstrations, traditional media engagement, and formal submissions to Norwegian government consultations.

Attac Norge operates exclusively within Norway as a domestic organization but participates in multiple international coalitions including Change Finance (60 organizations), Tax Justice Network, Our World is Not For Sale, SLUG (Norwegian Network for Just Debt Policy), Handelskampanjen, Norges Sosiale Forum, Forum for Utvikling og Miljø, and KAN. These coalitions extend its policy influence to Nordic and global forums on financial justice, trade policy, debt relief, and corporate accountability. Leadership transitioned from Hege Skarrud to Diego Marin Rios in September 2022, and the organization marked its 25th anniversary in 2026 with the adoption of a new Work Plan 2026-2027 at its 24th national meeting.

Emerging players

• Changemaker Norway: Changemaker is a smaller Norwegian youth-led advocacy NGO focused on global justice, development policy, and corporate accountability. It overlaps with Attac's mission on trade and development issues and operates with a similar grassroots, member-driven model at smaller scale.

Broad incumbents

• Amnesty International Norway: Amnesty International Norway is a much larger membership-driven human-rights advocacy NGO operating with the same grassroots-plus-international-network model as Attac. It illustrates a successful scaled version of the activist-NGO playbook in Norway.
• Greenpeace Norway: Greenpeace Norway is a much larger Norwegian branch of a global environmental advocacy NGO. It shares the activist, donation-funded, campaign-driven model and overlaps with Attac on climate and corporate-accountability themes, though with a much broader environmental mandate.
• Norwegian People's Aid (Norsk Folkehjelp): Norsk Folkehjelp is a large Norwegian civil-society organization active on global justice, development, and humanitarian issues. It offers a benchmark for a Norwegian NGO that combines mass membership, NORAD-linked funding, and significant policy influence.
• Oxfam Norway: Oxfam Norway is the Norwegian affiliate of an international development and global-justice NGO. It shares Attac's focus on inequality, trade, and financial justice, and operates via a comparable combination of public campaigning, policy submissions, and donor/member funding.
• Save the Children Norway (Redd Barna): Redd Barna is a large Norwegian membership and donor-funded advocacy NGO. It operates a scaled version of the member-driven advocacy model that Attac uses, and engages Norwegian policymakers through consultation submissions and direct advocacy.
• WWF Norway (Verdens Naturfond): WWF Norway is the Norwegian branch of a major international conservation NGO. It shares the membership/donor-funded advocacy structure and engages Norwegian policy on environment and trade, providing a useful comparison for a scaled-up Attac-like organization.

Direct peers

• Attac France: Attac France is the founding national organization of the international Attac network to which Attac Norge belongs. It pursues the same financial justice, tax justice, and trade policy advocacy mission and shares governance/coalition models, making it the most directly comparable peer.
• Tax Justice Network: Tax Justice Network is a coalition partner of Attac Norge focused on tax havens and financial transparency. It operates as an international advocacy NGO with very similar policy scope, member/donor funding model, and coalition-driven approach.
• Friends of the Earth Norway (Naturvernforbundet): Naturvernforbundet is a Norwegian grassroots membership-based advocacy NGO working on environmental and trade-justice issues that overlap with Attac's portfolio.
