[ingodirectors] REQUEST for Inputs to INGO Statement at CG Meeting 2012

[Marko Lovrekovic]

Dear INGO directors,

During the INGO Forum last week we discussed INGOs' inputs at the 
Consultative Group (CG) meeting scheduled for 10 December 2012. Although 
forty directors (or senior INGO staff) joined the forum, we would like 
to give you an opportunity to share your thoughts regarding the INGO 
Statement at the CG meeting. Pending the final approval of Prime 
Minister, two subjects concerning INGOs may be discussed at the CG: (1) 
Education; and (2) Land Law Revision.

During the forum two colleagues kindly volunteered to take the lead in 
consolidating your inputs and drafting the INGO Statement. If you 
projects are related to education and/or land issues, please send your 
comments (before 26 November 2012) to the following people:

1. for EDUCATION: Mr Sven Coppens, Program Director at Plan: 
<sven.coppens at plan-international.org>
2. for LAND LAW REVISION: Ms Le Kim Dung, Associate Country Director at 
Oxfam: <LKDung at oxfam.org.uk>

Please note that Development Agencies and the Government are preparing 
their own statements on the same subjects. Their statements will most 
likely be focused on policy dialogue, legal points of view and political 
changes. We would like to bring a 'human' (grass-root) perspective from 
INGOs' experiences in the field. Also, keep in mind that our final 
document will be only 2 or 3 pages long (including both themes) and the 
official INGO representatives at the CG may have no more than a few 
minutes to summarize and to present your views during the session. For 
those of you who are not familiar with the CG meeting and INGO 
representation, please refer to the following link:

We look forward to receiving your inputs by 26 November 2012. Sven and 
Dung are copied on this email.

Kind regards,

Marko
