Regional civil society networks in Moldova as topic of the most recent workshop
On July 8, 2020, partner organizations of the EU project "Citizens Empowerment in the Republic of Moldova", discussed the common vision of creating and ensuring sustainability of networks of civil society organizations at regional and national levels.
Participants discussed the actions of the project to contribute to the creation of functional CSO networks at regional level. The networks will increase the involvement of citizens in planning and monitoring of public services in the fields of water supply and sanitation, solid waste management, energy efficiency of public buildings, as well as information on the impact of public services on the environment and climate change.
The partner organizations analysed key elements for further work, including templates for a regulation for regional networks and action plan. At the same time, the expert and moderator of the workshop, Ina Coseru, presented a set of recommendations for efficient communication of the regional networks of CSOs with its members and other actors at regional level, as well as recommendations to ensure financial sustainability of the networks.
The event was an interactive one and allowed the participants to get acquainted with good experiences of setting up and operating CSO networks in the Republic of Moldova.
The event was organized as part of capacity building activities of partner organizations within the project "Citizens Empowerment in the Republic of Moldova", funded by the European Union and implemented by German Development Cooperation through GIZ.
