- In cooperation with the JCI Executive Vice President assigned to Area Europe or the JCI Membership Growth & Development Director for Europe, the EDC can coordinate with JCI Vice Presidents about the support and actions needed in National Organisations with potential or provisional affiliation.
- In the same cooperation, the EDC can assist JCI Vice Presidents active in existing National Organisations with growth and development issues.

The main tools available to the EDC are the Plan of Action, the development grants, communication and the board members' experience.
