Finding new Ways of Cooperation in Developing Countries

On 22nd of November 2012, the Czech NGO platform (FoRS) organized the workshop on topic: Finding of new ways of cooperation in developing countries. The workshop was organized within the project RESAREAS. The aim of this project is to create a network among the organizations and institutions active in research and development in non-European countries. The workshop tried to enhance the discussion among the participants from academic institutions, the private sector and NGOs active in developing countries. There were also some representatives from the Czech Development Agency and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs which showed their support for this topic.

According to the participants from all sectors there are now just few examples of projects coordinated by actors from all sectors. Although the potential is very high, especially in the field of sharing knowledge and expertise, the actors are facing many obstacles, for example in terms of legislation or fear. Each sector can offer different types of contribution and together we could be very successful. All the participants expressed their interests to continue the discussion on this topic.
