Slovenian NGDO platform for development cooperation and humanitarian aid - SLOGA

Sloga is a platform for non-governmental, non-profit organisations that re active in the field of development cooperation, global learning and humanitarian aid. The aim of the platform is to join forces and strengthen the partnership between Slovene non-governmental and non-profit organisations (NGOs) that are active in developing countries and raise awareness to the Slovene and European general public as regards the unequal division of wealth and the global solidarity and co-dependence related to it.
The main goal of Sloga is to monitor and actively form and evaluate the Slovene and European policies in international development cooperation. Within this it attempts to advocate the public interest in the field of social justice, social responsibility, respect of human rights, equal opportunities, education, solidarity, sustainable development and better inclusion of marginal groups into the decision-making process within the context of development cooperation. In order to achieve this Sloga cooperates with political decision-makers and representatives of Slovenian media.
