NGO Networking Fair Forman Christian College, Lahore

NGOs or Civil Societies may be defined as civil society groups, organizations and sometimes individuals that come together voluntarily to pursue shared purposes of social development or democratic governance. These purposes may include exchanging resources, addressing common social goals or expressing their identities as community or social group. In civil society networks, member groups and organizations retain their basic autonomy,   with   their   own   identity, mission, and governance.

Forman Christian College & university has organized  an event “NGO Networking Fair” for the attraction of the different non –profit organizations / NGOs to share ideas and strategies of individual with others. The event took place on 05th April, 2017 Wednesday from 09:00AM to 03:00PM.

Christians’ True Spirit was also invited to participate. Ms. Katherine Sapna director CTS, Miss. Asifa Sadaf (Office Assistant), Mr. Sarfraz Karamat, (District coordinator, Gujranwala), Mr. Salamat Gill (District Coordinator, Lahore) and Ms. Sunita Javed one of the board actively participated the event.

Civil society groups and organizations form networks to pursue aspirations for sustainable development and democratic governance that they cannot achieve alone. Networks can enhance the power and influence of citizen voice in advocating for policies and improving governance. Networks also can link service providers to exchange information and resources or to develop coordinated delivery systems. Civil society networks have become partners of choice for many international development agencies seeking to maximize the reach, scale and impacts of their programs.
