For many years, NGOs and the Lublin Self-Government have been successful in cooperating with their partners from the Eastern Europe. The network of NGOs in Lublin is quite extensive. Owing to our experience and knowledge regarding various Eastern European issues, our city and various organizations and institutions may successfully provide information and counseling services to partners from the Eastern Europe. As a result of the above, we can share our experience as far as social interaction and civil society is concerned with our Eastern European partners.
The Centre for East European Competences will be based on the UNDP Office in Lublin.
