Bond would like to invite member agencies to the UK country consultation, contributing towards the OECD Accra Agenda for Action through the Open Forum for CSO Effectiveness.
This day long event will provide you with an opportunity to learn more about the global efforts towards CSO Development Effectiveness, as well as contribute to the open forum goal of ’defining and promoting the roles and effectiveness of the CSO sector in development, based on a shared framework of principles’. Finally, there will be a session dedicated to discussing the key initiatives and drivers for NGOs to become more effective. The proposition we will put forward for debate is: ’Despite the proliferation of frameworks and tools to become more effective and accountable, there does not appear to be any significant change in the quality and impact of NGO’s international development work’.
The UK consultation will take place on Tuesday 14 September 2010, 9.30am-4.30pm at the Gestalt Centre. Moorgate is the closest tube (5-10 mins walk) but you can also use Liverpool Street or Old Street.
We are seeking informed and senior representation from across the Bond membership.
Guest speaker from DFID Civil Society Department is expected, but to be confirmed.
Lunch and refreshments will be provided at the all day event.Places are very limited so early booking is advised. Please register on the website.
