Description

Code of Good Practice on Civil Participation stipulates that access to information is the basis for targeted NGO involvement in the decision-making process.Analysis of the situation in the information space of NGOs shows that the main and only informative resource is activities carried out by Society “Latvian Civic Alliance”: website www.nvo.lv and weekly newsletter "Do not sit in the dark".Both information resources lack feedback to users and do not employ modern tools. The Project aims to provide Latvian NGOs and other stakeholders with a communication platform that will be implemented through an interactive television via the Internet. Project envisages development of Internet TV broadcasting by providing regular live TV through the Internet platform www.nvotv.lv, as well as providing regular video scene setting up about the latest developments in the NGO sector.
