SEDA was recently part of a group of 27 NPAs working together to increase opportunities for their organizations. These Lao non-profits linked up to discuss how to network with one another to increase communication with donors and development agencies. Among the topics discussed were the UN Civil Society Platform which will open 10 seats for NPAs and an upcoming ASEAN Civil Society Forum to be held in Vietnam. The groups present at the meeting will continue to stay connected to share information and report to one another. SEDA and the other NPAs present hope to reach out to more Lao NPAs in order to further expand networking opportunities.
