In the first days in 2010, the Slovenian NGDO platform SLOGA organised a roundtable on the implementation of MDGs and the role of Slovenian development institutions, civil society and others in achieving efficient development aid. The roundtable gathered NGO representatives as well as representatives of MFA, Division for International Development Cooperation and Humanitarian Aid, Ministry of Environment, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Agriculture and the Faculty of Social Sciences. Participants agreed that Slovenia has made an important step forward in the field of raising its official development assistance and improving its efficiency. Slovenia has even increased its ODA in the time of financial crisis. However there is a room for improvement, specially in regard to the role of Slovenian parliament and broader public. It was agreed that civil society organisations play an important part within the Slovenian development mechanism. In the future more emphasis will be given to better coordination of development aid, inclusion of economic actors and to better professional support to development policy.
