The
launch of a new Working Group on Non-governmental Organisations
recognises the growing significance of NGO’s in governance and in
shaping and meeting the needs of citizens. Our interests are broad – to
understand the role of NGO’s in governance in the CEE region, to analyse
the performance and consequences of this sector, and to explore
multi-sector strategies for meeting public interest. Our definition of
NGO’s is a broad one, to include informal organisations, cooperatives,
non-profits, civil society organisations, and so forth. Our interests
lie particularly with those NGO’s whose mission is in the public
interest and pertains to governance, social services, public policy,
citizen participation, and/or humanitarian concerns. And we intend to
explore the role that NGO’s play – independently and in multi-sector
collaboration with government institutions – in defining and achieving
the public good. |
