During the last CONCORD General Assembly (21st-22nd June, Brussels), the Romanian development NGO Platform – FOND joined as full member the European NGO Confederation for Relief and Development. This decision reflected the common interest of FOND in the activities of CONCORD and its Working Groups, shared by the platform members during the last FOND General Assembly (February 2011).Over the past years, FOND members have already been actively engaged in various CONCORD Working Groups, such as Aid Watch, EPAN, DARE and Cotonou, with support from TRIALOG. FOND will promote Concord’s policy priorities at the national level (the platform is officially recognised as a strategic partner of the Romanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs) and will provide useful input reflecting the perspective of the NGDO community on Romania’s role as a new donor, thus strengthening the position of NMS in influencing development issues at the European level.
