Networking

The purpose of networking at Eugad is: sharing resources and best practices and generating international and cross-sectoral synergies in communication for development. The members of Eugad network want to contribute at empowering European citizens to express informed judgments about the role Europian Commission and National Governments in Europe are taking in contributing to the global partnership for Development.

Eugad approach aims at involving project stakeholders in a process of dialogue and cooperation for producing and utilizing the project outputs (more in ⇒ consultations).

The network events are an important part of Eugad networking activities. They constitute occasions of personal meeting between people who otherwise intercat mainly through the web site and the media products.

Networking at Eugad has proceeded through the following steps:

• identification of possible partners;
• consultation with partners that include:
  

1. dialogue with the partners,
2. facing the issues dealt in the manuals
3. identification of further areas of cooperation in Eugad action;

then, on the basis of the result of consultations, proceed to implementing synergies:

• utilization of the knowledge produced in the dialogue for the preparation of the manuals and other project outputs,
• preparing action plans in the cooperation areas identified
• dissemination of the results and extension of the network created.

Besides the process of dialogue being articlated doing through this web site, consultation is taking place through:

• Interviews; 

• networking events that include:

Collecting and creating knowledge resources

The resources we are collecting and creating at Eugad are meant to facilitate the opinion makers in Europe to understand the challanges of the Global Partnership for Development so that they can better inform their target audiences.

This web site will collect organize and make available to all development stakeholders the resources from the Good Practices collected and made available by the Network Partners.  

Eugad will also create new resources, specifically:

• The manuals
• The video documentaries.
• The articles on the Eugad site reading room.

The Manuals illustrate how to integrate development issues into education and information activities, and provide indications on how to utilize the knowledge resources made available through the Web Portal.  The information, data analysis, findings, recommendations, etc. collected and compiled within other Activity Lines, is utilised to develop the Manuals, that are prepared through a process of stakeholder consultations on the project issues.  The articles of the Eugad Blog and their feedback will also be integrated in the Manuals.

Although the main body of the Manual on the Web will be in English, there will be three Manual summaries in Italian, Romanian and Bulgarian. Fifty hard copies for each language will be distributed along with multi-language interactive CDs.

Sharing the knowledge resources

We will share the resources collected and produced through this web site, thorugh the broatcast of documentaries and through the distribution of the manuals.

This sharing is vital for leading to the expected project outcomes.

Once the network has been established the partners collaborate in identifying new projects and raise funds in order to extend project outcomes and replicate the Action with other partners in other countries. See the List of new projects being designed amongst the Eugad partners. Along with the ongoing process of diaologue and Consultation, Eugad partners are identifying the areas for cooperation, build up synergies with other programmes and development actors.

Outcomes

Through the project activities, Eugad will produce the project outputs that will be used by the beneficiaries and other project stakeholders, in order to contribute to solving the problems identified, leading to the achievement of project objectives. 

By enabling public opinion makers (educationist and media) to raise awareness of the stakes of Global Partnership for Development,  Eugad will contribute to increasing, in the EU public, a sense of responsibility for the peoples of developing countries. We hope that, if the project is successful,  the long term impact will be more pressure on policy makers to implement international agreements aimed at reducing poverty and at establishing fairer relations between developed and developing countries.
