Why Become an Associate Member?
The actions that are carried out by NGOs and other organizations are critical to maintaining social balance and justice, in particular those dedicated to provide solutions to problems affecting such balance: addiction treatment and prevention, social integration, community development, education, promotion of women’s development and gender equality, etc.
Our efficiency to address the problems we endeavor to tackle depends partly on our ability to influence agencies and international organizations and to provoke changes within governments, communities and local policies.
To make such changes, NGOs develop a wide range of promotional activities: we present reports, exchange best practices and promote training and awareness-raising among the population, all of which in the objective of persuading international organizations and UN agencies to share our beliefs and commitments and to understand the need to implement effective solutions.
If we could pool our skills and our resources, coordinate our efforts and support each other, we’d be able to achieve much greater efficiency!
