		<description><![CDATA[In early July, 36 local NGO partners of EU-CORD members gathered in Kigali for a four day workshop on EU development aid. The local partners work in Burkina Faso, Burundi, DRCongo, Kenya, Sierra Leone and Uganda as well as Rwanda. This was the eighth regional workshop on this topic that has been run by EU-CORD in the last three years and it again depended on institutional funding experts from their members Dark and Light and Tearfund UK as facilitators.

		<description><![CDATA[EU-CORD member Dark and Light is managing a Thematic Learning Programme about the inclusion of persons with a disability in development cooperation. About 10% of the world’s population have a disability and are often among the most marginalised and poor.

		<description><![CDATA[EU-CORD recognises the complexity of the EU rules and regulations that govern its development aid to civil society. The EU has decentralised the management of its development aid to its Delegations in the developing world, where local NGOs can apply for EU funds. This offers a major opportunity to members’ local partners but many need to build their capacity first. In response, EU-CORD runs workshops in developing countries for members’ local partners to build their capacity to access EU development &#8230; <a href="http://www.eu-cord.org/2011/04/peru-workshop-on-eu-funding/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
