The Romanian Development Camp: New Strategic Perspectives for the Romanian Development Cooperation

The Romanian NGDO Platform FOND will organise together with the Romanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the 6th edition of the Romanian Development Camp (RDC) from 15th to 17th of July 2013. This is a unique event which takes place annually and aims at reuniting the national community of actors active in development cooperation: governmental actors, civil society, experts from European and international donors, partner countries, academia, local authorities, mass-media and the private sector.

This year’s edition is part of a process which started in 2012 and initiated a multi-actor revision of the national strategy on development cooperation. As a result, a joint action plan and policy recommendations for 2012-2013 were disseminated among the main important actors. This edition will bring new strategic perspectives for the Romanian development cooperation, based on other EU countries and experiences. The main focus will be to discuss the first draft of the new national strategy.

Among the guests invited will be representatives from European institutions - EC, OECD, EU countries, Romania’s partner countries (Republic of Moldova, Egypt, and Tunisia). The sessions will be structured in a very participatory way, giving the opportunity to share ideas, best practices and solutions and to ensure a proper participation and input from all the stakeholders. The RDC will also engage the national community in the European debates on relevant topics such as Beyond 2015 and Multiannual Financial Framework, 2014-2020.

FOND invites representatives from EU12 Platforms to join this event. If you have experience with similar processes on elaborating/ revising development cooperation strategies and working with the relevant institutions in this field, please contact the Romanian NGDO Platform, Adriana Zaharia, Liaison Officer – adriana.zaharia@fondromania.org (deadline 3rd of June, 2013).
