TRIALOG together with the Estonian National NGDO Platform and with the input from the Strategic Sustainable Development (SSD) Advisers organized between on May 3rd and 4th a national training focusing on the topic of Environment and Development.
The seminar explored the EU-specific and other international sustainable development initiatives and possibilities of funding these type of initiatives in the context of development cooperation. Among the specific topics explored were: Policies of International Development Cooperation related to the environment; Possibilities for EU and non-EU funding for Environmental cooperation projects with the “South,” including on how to apply for this funding; and Tools and processes that can be used as part of a Platform on Environmental and International Development and Estonia´s commitment to “Sustainable Estonia 21” including methods on how to measure success.
The trainer, Shawn Westcott from SSD Advisers, provided participants with a rich toolbox of instruments for tackling the topic, and our hopes go towards the future development of projects and a deeper engagement of Estonians NGOs on development cooperation projects focusing on the environment.
