SGP Networking
The GEF/SGP has been functional in Turkey since 1993. To date, the programme supported over 60 projects implemented by more than 40 local and national NGOs. This programme has generated a rich package of best practices, lessons learned and experiences in applying sustainable development with real communities, by real people and in real socio-economic circumstances. In addition it has managed to virtually create a unique "environmental community" comprised of more than 40 NGOs that have received support from this programme, and still expanding.
This success has energised the need for the establishment of a unique network based on modern information technology for the support of this community of NGOs and utilising the strength of information for moving towards more creative implementation of sustainable development.
The SGP Turkey Coordination Team built a partnership with Underwater Research Society (SAD), Bird Research Society (KAD), and Bugday Society for Supporting Ecological Livelihood (Bugday) through 3 Projects, namely:
- SGP Networking
- Communication of SGP Activities and Projects (inc. technical support to the programme and to the projects to enhance their web pages and improve the projects printed materials)
- SGP?s Outreach (inc. the publication of promotional materials for the SG Programme)
This project defines the "SGP?s Networking Project" which is a part of the above-mentioned ensemble of three projects. It should be considered within the context of this "ensemble" of partnership with National SGP Coordination Team, SGP Core Group and the project partners.
This particular project is one major tool in implementing the SGP's Networking activities. The partner NGO works closely with the National SGP Coordination Unit, together with partner NGOs on the overall networking and communication programme for SGP. The information disseminated through this network is basically gathered by SGP Core Group where all the project partners will be giving contribution. And also the members of the network are continuous feeders of the network.
Some of the main tools of the SGP Networking Project are:
- Management of the SGP electronic network;
- Organisation of exchange site visits for projects to flagship projects;
- Conducting SGP Project meetings;
- Documenting the programme and project "news" and "stories" digitally and introduce them through the Newsletter;
- Disseminating the lessons learned and best practices from SGP projects gathered by the SGP Capacity Building Group

The project coordinator will be acting as a facilitator in the exchange of information and experience. The coordinator will also be organising 2 SGP Project Meetings, in which she will be able to include short and specific training modules responding to the needs of the group, improving their capacity on that specific issue.
