CC) in European and global development structures and processes. The activities comprise coordination, information, networking, policy, advocacy and capacity building. On September 8 and 9, 2009, TRIALOG organised with it’s key-stakeholders (NMS development NGO platform directors/coordinators, board representatives, Advisory Group) the “Future Factory” to present the framework of the recently approved next 3-year project phase. Especially the new elements of TRIALOG IV (Sept. 2009 – Sept. 2012) were introduced to the participants and each of the main fields of activity discussed with them related to the needs and wishes of the different target countries.
Within the new elements of TRIALOG IV, there are study visits on development policy, a step-by-step guide to Policy & Advocacy, a development conference in the South on the role of CSOs combined with field visits to development projects, the creation of a Pool of Multipliers and support in organisational development for NGDOs and their national platforms.
One part of the Future Factory was also dedicated to present other current regional or bilateral projects and programmes and see how to link them with TRIALOG in order to reach best synergies. At the same time, these projects could serve as an example for further cooperation projects between national NGDO platforms in order to fill the gaps left by the end of projects like the Presidency Fund and the Regional Partnership Programme and to respond to the “cold climate” for CSOs in times of crisis.
