As part of a DG SANCO funded project, EPHA is working towards developing capacity among health NGOs and organisations in the new Member States.
The goal is to foster the development of national platforms of NGOs in each country that will support networking at a national level and provide greater integration of CEE structures into European networks and activities.
On 24-25 January 2005, a capacity building workshop was organised in Ljubljana in partnership with EPHA Environment Network and The Slovenian NGO centre, CNVOS.
Expert facilitators delivered training modules on the EU and Health and concepts of public health. There were also interactive exercises to develop a mission statement, membership criteria and workplan for the new health platform.
