Government Office for Development and European Affairs (GODEA)
Among the activities of GOEA is the encouragement of co-operation with non-governmental organisations involved in civil society activities. GOEA was co-funder and mediator in the establishment of the Centre for Information Service, Co-operation and Development of NGOs (CNVOS) with the aim of involving Slovene NGOs in the activities of umbrella organisations that have consultative status to the institutions of the European Union. In addition, GOEA has co-operated with the United Nations Development Programme. A detailed description of the historical background to the development of NGOs in Slovenia and co-operation between GOEA and the NGOs is available in English at the GOEA website.
