Andreas
Ulfsax, Policy advisor from the Swedish organisation Diakonia introduced the
participants to an “Environmental lens”, a tool that can help practically
assess the environmental impacts on the projects and vice versa, taught the
participants how to use it within their respective organisations. The international
framework for the environmental issues in development co-operation and in
particular the Finish NGDO preparation for the Rio+20 summit, reflection on the
new EU development policy „Agenda for
change“ were presented by Rilli Lappalainen, Secretary General of Kehys. Finally,
the participants had a chance to reflect the relation between the environmental
sustainability and international development, to learn from the success case
studies from Latvia and Finland.
This capacity building programme- the first of such kind- is a result of the successfull cooperation amongst the
Baltic and Scandinavian NGDO platforms. The first training focusing on
sustainable development was implemented on 27- 28 October, 2011. The implementation of the programme
was supported by the Nordic Council of Ministers Office in Lithuania and the
Association of the Local Authorities in Lithuania.
