Hellenic Platform for Development is organizing the Launch Event of the Project “Development & Democracy” under the auspices of the Hellenic Presidency of the Council of the European Union. The overall objective of the “Development & Democracy” Project is to strengthen the effectiveness and impact of Greek NGDOs in mobilizing the public, and increase their participation and influence in policy making in respect to the post-2015 global development agenda and the momentum of the European Elections. Our pursuit is that the Launch Event of the Project will be the beginning of a fruitful cooperation among different state and non-actors, organizations, the media and the general public, targeting at the best impact on the Greek and global society.
