Description
We will use this grant to strengthen the capacity of our organisation and build its image in the local community. We operate in the Mazury region, in an environment of small rural communities. In this area, in 17 municipalities there are about 130 registered organisations, but about 50 of them are active. As part of the project we will create a website for our organisation, purchase computers and a printer for the office and for field work. We will carry out a series of online training sessions on the use of social media and the development of a fundrising strategy. We will run open meetings for residents to collect data for a diagnosis of community needs in the context of environmental protection. We will hold a conference combined with workshops for NGOs and local authorities on climate change and its consequences. During the conference, good practice solutions to problems resulting from climate change will be presented. In the workshop part, the participants will develop a guidebook on how to consult on investment plans. Local governments and NGOs will share their knowledge on how they can cooperate in conducting such consultations. We will show our organisation as a reliable partner building dialogue between NGOs and local governments on climate change. The descriptions of good practices will be made available on our website.
