VISION OF THE ASSEMBLY DEVELOPMENT
As a result of our work we see the developed third sector of Belarus, where the Assembly serves as a mechanism of the promotion of NGOs interests. The Assembly is an authority association of NGOs and public initiatives, that promotes the development of a democratic lawful state and influences the changes in the community. The membership in the Assembly is prestigious and useful.
The Assembly is an open for co-operation platform with a stable mechanism of information exchange. It has strong regional cotacts. Each member of the Assembly can find appropriate partners for work.
The Assembly promotes the development of NGOs, creates favorable conditions for inculcation of qualitative standards of their work. The results of this work are constantly analyzed and evaluated.
The Assembly is a formalized structured association, it has its normative documents, which are recognized by all members of the Assembly. The rules of interrelations between members of the Assembly are regulated, there work clearly stated procedures of decision-making and adoption of documents on behalf of the association.
MISSION
The Assembly of NGOs is a voluntary association of public associations and initiatives, which freely choose different forms of organizational interaction, based on the principles of equality and independence, and designate democracy and independence of Belarus as their values. These principles are consolidated in statute and program documents of organizations – members of the Assembly.
Mission
The Assembly promotes the development of the organizations-members of the Assembly and the formation of the civic society in Belarus.
The activities of the Assembly aim at registered and non-registered organizations and public initiatives which form part of the Assembly. The Assembly also works with other public associations that are not its members.
In our understanding the public initiative is a permanent organ, which has a permanent structure that is partially formalized.
The Assembly also works with NGOs – not members of the Assembly, registered and non-registered organizations and public initiatives.
The Assembly also supports initiative groups, which do not have some particular structure; however, they intend to realize certain goals.
Organizational principles of the Assembly:
- Voluntary participation and independence of the organizations-members of the Assembly;
- Non-interference in internal affairs of the organizations-members of the Assembly;
- Equal in rights representation of the organizations-members of the Assembly in its structures;
- Democtratic procedures of decision-making;
- Solidarity and cooperation of the members of the Assembly in achieving one common goal.
