On 26 May, 2010, the General Assembly of the Czech platform took place in Prague. FoRS organisations appreciated that in 2009, when the Czech presidency was held, FoRS was actively involved in European policy and advocacy work. At the same time, FoRS has initiated an internal discussion on CSO development effectiveness and contributed through the Open forum for CSO Development effectiveness to the debate on the global level. FoRS also contributed to the finalisation of the Czech Strategy on development cooperation, to the National strategy of development education and on the policy coherence for development debate. FoRS has established and strengthened important partnerships and enhanced capacities of its members as well as of the Secretariat.
FoRS members have admitted 6 new organisations and therefore the membership base increased to 37 members and 10 observers. New Executive and Advisory Board has been selected. After 7 years, Simon Panek from People In Need has handed over his Chair to Pavel Gruber from Caritas. For the full list of Board members, see http://www.fors.cz/en/about_us/structure.
FoRS further discussed current challenges as well as the need of quality standards. Finally, current situation in the Czech development cooperation was discussed with deputy minister of foreign affairs and with deputy director of Czech Development Agency.
