Frame agreement with NGO (Fida Int.)
Regional Coordination and Organisational Development. The Regional Coordination and Organizational Development Programme aims to empower partners in the Balkans for high quality development work through training and networking. In addition_ the programme offers a support network for project coordinators in the region. Fidaâs partners in the Balkan region consist mainly of small evangelical churches. Due to their small size the churches often lack resources and capacities for effective development work. They are_ however_ very motivated to work in the local communities. Through the programme the partners learn important tools and methods in e.g. project planning_ evaluation and management. In addition_ the programme offers them an opportunity for networking with and learning from each other. As the partnersâ capacities build up and their network becomes stronger_ the quality of the development work they do will improve further. Networking within the region will also support cooperation and peace-making between different ethnic groups in the Balkans.

Consolidation of forestry education in the South-East Europe region
According to the Finnis development policy programme (2007) the Western Balkans are one of the main targets of regional cooperation. In the Western Balkans Finland has made a move from bilateral projects in one county to regional projects which create cross-boundary cooperation and regional integration. Finland has supported a forestry education project of European Forest Institute EFI in the Western Balkans. According to the mid-term review of the project the project is relevant and has created regional and international networking. Sustainability -especially the sustainability of the Master_s programme on forest policy and forest economics - was assessed to be a risk. In order to make the sustainability better_ EFI proposes a second phase of the project to be implemented through the project office of EFI to be established in Croatia.
