The aim of this project is to strengthen the internal governance of the Lithuanian NGDO Platform and the Uganda National NGO Forum in order to improve the co-operation between the Platform/Forum and its members. As the member organizations of the Platform/Forum are of different profiles in the context of development co-operation, this project will help to identify potential areas of co-operation and improve project governance skills. Through increased activity in regard to development co-operation topics in Lithuania and Uganda, the Platform/Forum will seek to strengthen the advocacy of members’ position on development co-operation questions. The project’s goals will be achieved through sharing experience in communication, organizational governance and strategic planning with other FORUS members; also through carrying out trainings for the Platform’s/Forum member organizations on project proposal writing, needs assessment and organization development; as well as through providing coaching for writing internal policy documents in order to achieve better governance.
