European Perspective has monitored
the implementation of quite a lot of the local partners' activities
and the conclusion is that each of those activities was taken very
seriously and professionally. Possible problems are being solved on
the way and in a constructive manner so that there is constant
improvement in the functioning
of the resource centres.
The purpose of the radio and TV
broadcasts on the local radio and television stations was to rouse
the citizens to active participation in solving problems of the
local community, active involvement of the citizens in the work of
the local government, presenting the public with the work of NGO
sector and other institutions of the civil society, promotion of
human rights and democracy and facing the problems of the
young.
Awareness meetings and two-day
training workshops with approximately the same topics have resulted
in the constant increase in the number of participants, which is a
definite indicator of the level of interest of all the actors of the
civil society, including NGOs, local authorities, the media and the
public in general. The awareness meetings were attended by over
600 participants, the two-day trainings were attended by over 350
trainees whereas the wider public followed up all the activities
through the "Radio network" and the "TV network"
as well as through the Newsletter, distributed to more than 1000
addresses. The goals thus accomplished refer to the accentuating
of the key role of NGOs in the process of democratisation,
involvement of NGOs in the privatisation process as well as
perceiving the current privatisation process in the country,
development of dialogue among the government, trade unions, NGOs,
independent media and expert groups, bringing NGOs as the civil
society element closer to the local population, definining the
concept of tolerance, non-violent communication and peaceful
conflict resolution, finding models for solving problems of the
young, development and strengthening of NGOs including quick
training of the non-profit sector representatives which includes
strategic planning within NGOs, NGO management, project proposal
writing, financing of NGOs, NGO marketing, NGOs and public
relations, volunteer management, partnerships and networking.
A Central Resource Centre has been
established, as well as an Information and Documentation Centre,
which will be vested in European Perspective.
