The active participation of NGOs in the implementation of projects with major social impact and, why not, in solving situations of crisis, is proving increasingly to be the most optimal strategy of the present. The Ngos efficiency is proved in a series of impressive achievements, especially locally, where the central institutions of the state do not always succeed a microscopic analysis of the data, but also on national and international level by creating networks and partnerships. .

NGOs are starting to become representative for the civil society, evolving from "useful" to "indispensable". In the same time, the cooperation becomes increasingly necessary , punctual and overall, trough national NGOs, and more, in terms of a united Europe, between organizations from all interested countries to develop joint projects.

Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) play a central role in a democratic society. From improving environmental conditions to getting out the vote to advocating for changes in the legal system, organizations of concerned citizens can make their views known to their elected leaders and effect change. They can harness the talents and energies of volunteers, work with local officials, and interest the media in publicizing their concerns.
But to have this kind of impact, they need skills in advocacy, management, coalition building, and other areas.

The aim of ICDI is to generate and distribute analysis and reports on the output for the NGO community for the benefit of policy makers, journalists, philanthropic organizations, civil society.

We hope this will lead to an informed public debate on the role of NGOs in: environmental protection, sustainable development, civil society, culture and traditions.
