VI. Cooperation with non-governmental development organisations

Meeting of the MFEA-NGO working group

Regular meetings between the Ministry and the NGOs

MFEA-NGO working group

In 2016, the Ministry and the NGOs met seven times to discuss subjects of common interest, including calls for proposals, the new arrangements for the framework agreements, the Global Education Network Europe, the Global Partnership for Effective Development Cooperation and the 2016 conferences and their follow-up. This dialogue between institutions is also intended for the humanitarian NGOs and/or non-members of the Cercle and, as a result, humanitarian subjects such as the World Humanitarian Summit held in Istanbul in May 2016 were also addressed there.

Ministry-NGO meetings in 2016

“Partner country” meetings were organised by the Ministry to bring together the NGOs, LuxDev, the representatives of the Directorate for Development Cooperation and Humanitarian Action and the Policy Directorate in order to discuss the programmes in progress and the challenges encountered. At the request of the NGOs, a specific meeting was organised on the subject of Syria.
