Follow-up (Meeting with 8 NGOs)
*EXPLORA
Desarrollo y Participación
Mujeres de Partidos Políticos
Movimiento Nueva Generación
After the breakfast event has ended, we were realized that the mission was not actually end yet. We had two more days to get this project done, the follow-up meeting with 8 NGOs still on the way and we were eager to be on the road. We had arranged the meeting by the diversity of their concentration fields. We have collected some completed applications and promised to carry them back to New York. The visiting gave us an in-depth view of their works, we were touched by many inspiring stories, have shared their frustrations but all of those has ended with high hope. We left each NGO with smile not only on our face but also within our mind, we realized even stronger that our mission has accomplished at least one step and that we hope for many in the near future.

The objective
The objective of the NGO/DPI Executive Outreach Project is to identify and recruit NGOs in Panama to affiliate with the DPI/NGO section at the UN Headquarter in New York City. Graduate students from Long Island University’s United Nations Graduate Certificate Programme has spent one week in Panama and meet representative NGO candidates. The Executive Committee will support their affiliation applications.
The programme had made a significant achievement with the frist project in Costa Rica, 2007 and we once again see this as the opportunity to expand our work to other countries in Latin America. Panama is one of the most potential country that has been very active on the civil society profile. There are quite numbers of the NGOs in Panama, the country has however only two NGOs that have been affiliatted with the UN. Therefore, we determine to increase that number and by making this effort, our "LIU and NGO/DPI Executive Committee Outreach Project" will be a stepping stone that leads us to the goal.

The City of Knowledge is part of the rich tradition that Panama´s society accumulated over the years in an effort to establish education as the instrument to human´s development throughout the Twentieth Century. While during its origins, Panama´s effort was linked to the organization of the educational system, required by the fledgling republic to shape its State and to provide its economy with qualified the century, the country began pondering the need to find the means necessary to associate itself with the new challenges posed by the global economy, in which knowledge has developed into a first rate productive force.
