"Roundtables on Civil Society organisations' strategic planning for democratic reform"

Amman, 17-19 June 2007


NPWJ, in partnership with the Kawakibi Democracy Transition Center (KADEM) and the Royal Institute for Inter-Faith Studies, organised in Amman a series of "Roundtables on Civil Society organisations' strategic planning for democratic reform" on 17-19 June. The meeting had a primarily "civil society" character, providing an opportunity to develop the professional skills necessary for civil society to enter into effective interaction with state structures as well as mainstreaming and systematising the contribution of civil society to the decision-making process.
 
The roundtables provided a fruitful occasion for gathering democracy advocates from the country and the Region as well as international organisations to exchange opinions and ideas about the current and future activities aimed at reinforcing and strengthening of democratic reform within the Region. The activities of DAD partners, the preparation of this year’s Forum for the Future as well as information about the evolution of the Foundation for the Future and the Arab Democracy Foundation were the core of the three-day meeting.
