Lithuanian NDGO (National Non-Governmental Development Coopreation Organisations) Platform

A regular dialogue was maintained with the non-governmental organisations acting in the field of development cooperation and especially with the Lithuanian NDGO Platform and its 21 member NGOs from various sectors. Established in 2007, the Platform in the last couple of years became an active player in the shaping of the Lithuanian development cooperation policy, its coordination and practical implementation. Main fields of activity encompass mainstreaming development cooperation; increasing opportunities for Lithuanian NGOs to participate in international development cooperation; participation in shaping and implementation of national and EU development cooperation policies; the building of capacity of the Platform member organisations, etc. The Platform member organizations work in the spheres of democracy promotion, social security, culture, healthcare (including HIV issues), equal opportunities, food security, children's rights, sustainable development and many others. More information about the Platform at http://www.pagalba.org/en/index.html
