Proposal #42: Commitees and NGOs
I propose that each committee and taskforce will be in charge of networking with NGO of their area of competence and this will be included in their terms of reference. In particular in O-15 will be included as IJB responsibility the networking with National & Regional Youth Councils.
Rationale
NGO team of ERC did an amazing job pushing the organization to realize how important is to reach out cooperating with other NGO. Now from the PUSH approach we have to move to a PULL approach in which every committee is resposable of its own NGO relation, established in the framework designed by ERC.
This is because each committee has such specific issues to deal with:
- IJB is the perfect body of the organization to enstablish relation with Youth Councils
- IPP to enstablish relation with working camps NGO
- IVC to enstablish relation with NGO working with kids
- IRMC to enstablish relation with NGO working on risk
Respectfully submitted, Teo (ITA)

I think this proposal tackles the fundamental question of service committees on the international level: Should the village committee take care of its own educational goals, LMO-relations and leadership training or should we have EDR, ERC and ILTC for that purpose.
I guess that largely depends on the the service committee. In the last years I have often observed service committees working in the opposite direction of what the programme committees were doing. Also sometimes the service committees provided all the tools and methods and contacts necessary, but those were never used.
This is were I believe the top structure (EEC and IEC) comes in. Fill the gap!
On a sidenote, of course, I'm all for more NGO-relations - there's so much we can learn!
