The values that we want to convey through this project

  1. Romania is a ‘new kind’ of donor: we want a common approach to development assistance, sharing their experiences and use limited funds in innovative ways
  2. Give further: We want to share expertise and lessons learned in the Romanian transition to a state of law and a market economy over the past 20 years, giving away those who are in similar processes and where experience Romania is needed and appreciated.
  3. We develop together through partnerships: We express our solidarity with developing states through a responsible foreign policy and focused on outcomes that would support people to live in dignity and fairness. In a global world we develop together through partnerships.
  4. Solidarity, respect and understanding against people from other countries and on the things we can do here to contribute to a better world.
The project is financed by the Romanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs through the Development Cooperation (RoAid) and implemented with the support of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) – Regional Centre for Europe and Central Asia.
