The NGO INITIATIVE BALTIC SEA COOPERATION holds contact to some international partners who also want to improve the NGO COOPERATION in the Baltic Sea region. On some fields Baltic-Sea-wide associations already exist (Youth, Environment), but cross-sector co-operation of all different kinds of NGOs, exchange of information and experiences is still rare.
At the NGO-conferences in Copenhagen (march 2001) and Luebeck (May 2001), with participants from all Baltic Sea States, the need to found a BALTIC NGO FORUM on international level was stated. The now growing structures of such network - the so called "national focal points" - are now trying to further establish this cooperation.
