CONCORD WG EPAN Enlargement & lessons learnt sub- group Valentin Burada Civil Society Development Foundation Romania

CONCORD WG EPAN Objectives (November 2006)  Forum for bilateral coordination  Exchange techniques and good practices  Tools to enhance public participation  “Twinning” and monitor implementation

WG EPAN - Lessons learnt  What have we learnt in terms of: platform building lobby and advocacy financing mechanism ?

WG EPAN – Shared experiences (NMS activities)  MVRO - “ODA legal and institutional framework – flexibility in ODA management“, Bratislava, December 2006  TRIALOG - Central Training, Tallinn, March 2007  Grupa Zaranica – “Official Development Aid Seminar”, Kraków, April 2007

WG EPAN - Lessons learnt  Do we want to recommend “something” to candidate countries, in terms of: platform building lobby and advocacy financing mechanism ?

Lessons learnt - Development cooperation in candidate states (generalization) +  Government support = ~0 (except for weak MFA Development Assistance Units)  Public support = ~0 (lack of information / awareness)  Foreign support (donors) = ~0 -  Support from EC = (?)  Support from European NGDOs (platforms, networks, TRIALOG, CONCORD) = information, training

Lessons learnt - Development cooperation in candidate states (generalization) Lack of financial resources (private/public/ foreign) Lack of NGO Involvement (PVD, DE) Lack of information/ awareness (eurocentric/recipient) Lack of public support/approval (legitimacy) Lack of State support (except for weak MFAs’ Development Assistance Units )

Lessons learnt - Development cooperation in candidate states  After the accession moment, influencing public policies becomes more difficult (limited leverage for CSOs)  EU and other donor programmes in the pre- accession period aimed at strengthening civil society are not used for creating/strengthening Development Cooperation capacity (ex. Ro/Bg)  Development Cooperation/EU external action is absent from EC Delegations communication strategies and activities

Recommendations – to the EC  Recommend the establishment of financing mechanisms, budget allocation and activities for Development Cooperation before the accession  Using EC Delegations’s communication tools for DE and Awareness Raising  EU programmes in the pre-accession period aimed at strengthening civil society should also be used for creating/strengthening Development Cooperation capacity within CSOs  Recommend EC (relevant DGs) to approach, inform, train and involve Finance Ministries in DC programming

Recommendations – to EP  Recommend “friendly” EMPs (MPs) from [O]MS to interact with candidate countries MPs and Government officials on Development Cooperation issues

Recommendations – to CONCORD/TRIALOG/NGDOs  Identify the right CSOs (committed, capable, sustainable) to work with => need for a good analysis of local CS and environment  Working with local CSOs on concrete issues (strategic planning, lobby & advocacy, DEs, PVDs)
