Within the frame of the project “MEDEVNET – Capacity and synergy building for Development among non-governmental development organisations (NGDOs) and Local Authorities (LAs) in Greece, Cyprus and Malta” (2010-2011), research had been conducted on issues related to knowledge and opinion about international development cooperation (IDC) of Maltese non-governmental development organisations (NGDOs) and local councils (LCs).
The aim was to obtain information from Maltese CSOs which are active on issues related to development (global poverty issues, at large) and/or migration, and from local councils, about organisational structures, focus areas of work, knowledge about development policies and their opinions about related matters. The gathered information then served to develop a picture of Maltese development NGOs’ work, obstacles and priorities, and of LCs in terms of the extent they had already been involved in development cooperation, if at all.
This publication has been written by Dominik Kalweit, in collaboration with Mario Gerada, Angie Farrugia and William Grech, on behalf of the Maltese non-governmental development organisation Kopin and SKOP – The National Platform of Maltese NGDOs.
