The project “Capacity building of NGOs in Greece, Romania, Bulgaria for mobilizing support for MDGs” is implemented in the target countries Greece, Romania and Bulgaria
with the significant cooperation and input from partners from
Sub-Saharan Africa. The project is funded by European Commission.
The
overall objective of the project is to mobilise support for the
achievement of Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and the promotion of
North-South understanding and cooperation in pursuing common development
goals. Furthermore, the project seeks to promote volunteerism and the
active engagement of citizens.
The
project aims at building the capacity of local NGOs from education,
health services and media services sectors, raising awareness in the
target countries and engaging their constituencies in action for raising
awareness and promoting the achievement of MDGs in sub-Saharan Africa.
Furthermore,
the project aims to a) put on the agenda the need to take action; b)
provide the know-how and the necessary tools for that purpose; c)
provide incentives and engage specialised NGOs from the three sectors in
action for mobilising support and promoting the MDGs.
Last but
not least, the project supports directly one important GOAL which is the
close cooperation between developing countries and developed countries
aiming at establishing a productive dialogue between their
organisations. |
