Transparency of the development assistance

Transparency of development assistance is a key component in achievement its bigger efficiency. Transparency of development assistance means that we have an overview on how much assistance has been intended, how it was spent and what results have been achieved.

Transparency of development assistance is therefore crucial as it enables:

- governments of developing countries to better plan and manage with received assistance

- citizens of donor countries to better understand what their contributions in the form of paid taxes were used for and how they contribute to reducing global poverty

- people in developing countries to better understand the assistance their governments receive and what it is spent for

- parliaments and NGOs in developing countries to follow assistance flows and ensure that it is used in the most efficient way

- donors and development agencies to better coordinate their activities with the activities of other donors.

APPLICATIONS: NEW INTENSIVE COURSES

We are collecting applications for intensive training courses

In April 2012 we will start organizing intensive educational programs from the fields of Theatre of the Oppressed, Documentary photography and Documentary film. All programs are free of charge.

We invite everyone to take part in the courses who would like to gain or upgrade their existing knowledge in the selected fields and would at the same time like to – through the use of art – expose social issues which are important to them. The courses are open for everyone, however priority in selection will be given to members of different ethnic minority groups, national minorities and migrants. Everyone who speaks English or Slovene can apply for the training. The language of the training will be decided afterwards taking into account the prevailing language knowledge of the participants. If necessary, simultaneous interpretation will be organized.

The participants will be offered different types of support, among other things they will be able to borrow equipment, they will have access to the digital dark room, some will be awarded grants for future development of their projects, participating in festivals and meetings, and accommodation.
