VI. Cooperation with non-governmental development organisations

Meeting on the post-2015 framework

MFA-NGO working group

In 2013, the Ministry and the NGOs met six times to discuss issues in which both parties have an interest, including the new document base, the lessons to be learned from the evaluations of NGOs commissioned by the MFA, the preparation for 2015 (Luxemburgish Presidency of the European Council and also the European Year for Development). This institutionalised dialogue is also intended for humanitarian NGOs and/or NGOs which are not members of the Cercle; therefore, humanitarian issues, such as Luxembourg cooperation’s new strategy for humanitarian affairs, the general terms and conditions for humanitarian NGOs and the next World Humanitarian Summit were also discussed there.
