01.06.2008 | Exchange with Mongolian NGOs
A strategic goal of the EPSD is to reach out and share our experiences and our story to benefit organizations outside of our region. To this end, the Czech Environmental Partnership Foundation together with the Agency for Development Assistance from Olomouc began to assist local NGOs in Mongolia through an exchange program. In the fall of 2007, Program Director Tomas Ruzicka and Board member Blazena Huskova took part in meetings of herding communities in the area of Khuvsgul Lake and in the southern Gobi and prepared a study tour for representatives of Mongolian community and environmental NGOs to the Czech Republic in March 2008. The purpose of the program was to present the best practices in environmental education, nature conservation and advocacy to six representatives of communities and NGOs from Mongolia. Continuation of cooperation between these two countries was discussed.
