| final results & observations |
The main goal for WOPD is to become more independent and to strengthen the organisation. WOPD paid attention to strengthening the internal organisation through training of staff and board. At the same time they provided services to the member-organisations through supporting income generating activities.
Activities for internal organisational strengthening were amongst others computer training, advocacy and lobbying workshop and the general assembly of WOPD itself and of its separate local member organisations. Also two new local organisations became member of WOPD in 2007.
The organisation generated income through member fees and by setting up a small restaurant. Problems concerning this eatery – about ownership – were solved. WOPD also executed a water project and monitored activities of their member organisations. There are monthly meetings and evaluations of projects of the member organisations.
ZijActief Noord Holland supports WOPD through financial and advisory means. The organisation is financially involved specifically in lending activities of local member organisations. ZijActief also closely monitors the institutional development of WOPD. In November 2007 a mission took place and two members of ZijActief visited the organisation. They were very pleased with the progress of WOPD and they reported that the WOPD board and staff followed almost 90% of the recommendations made during the mission of end 2006.
The project for 2008 will be a prolongation of the ongoing activities. WOPD will continue the water project and will monitor the activities of the member organisations. The plan is also to add two new member organisations to the WOPD network.
