Cyprus NGDO Platform Difficulties – Successes and Challenges 2006/2007 TRIALOG Central Training, Tallinn, March 2007

DIFFICULTIES Communication and logistics due to political situation in Cyprus Official frame of platform Who should become a member? How strict do we define ‘Development’ NGO? Should the platform be registered? If so – where? Should we approach the MFA? Number of member NGOs

DIFFICULTIES No platform coordinator Lack of personnel, and time How, when and in which activities should the platform be engaged? General attack by the R.o.Cyprus Government against NGOs

SUCCESSES NGOs finally in the process of platform building Managed to keep island-wide character Participation in wide range of TRIALOG/ CONCORD events Organisation of events in Cyprus (such as conference, Fair Trade Day..) Support during Lebanon-Crisis

SUCCESSES Managed to shift agenda of NGOs towards development issues More NGOs interested UNDP-ACT offered collaboration Several concept notes submitted under ED CfP Website online (

Challenges for 2007 Platform to function on regular basis Enlarge the number of member NGOs Show presence in Cyprus Introduce the notion of development issues to ordinary people as well as to the different stakeholders Jointly carry out activities related to MDGs
