On the 8th of November, 2008 on the Open Society – Georgia Foundation Rule of Law and Public Administration Program initiative was organized a meeting where were decided to establish a Coalition annexing NGO sector, media representatives and independent experts. Coalition goal will be promotion of transparency of the Foreign Financial Aid allotted to Georgia that will be enshrined in specific joint projects as a monitoring of adequacy of various granted funds, advocacy and focused media campaign/coverage. Second meeting devoted to the same issue was held on November 16 in which the following NGOs’ representatives and independent experts took part who are perceived to become actual members of the Coalition.
Participants of the meeting exchanged information on international foreign aid installment amounts, streams of their assignments and generally outlined future plans and activities. Participants agreed on to countersign a Memorandum of Understanding defining Coalition framework and forms of collaboration. The above list of potential members of the Coalition is open for joining and with that aim in view it was resolved to invite other NGOs to participate in further meetings with the aim of extending a membership of the Coalition, such as Heinrich Boell Foundation, Friedrich Ebert Foundation and others. |
