IDEA’s Good Governance Project 2014

In 2013, IDEA ran a pilot project supporting 4 member organisations on their journey towards compliance with the Governance Code for Community and Voluntary Organisations.  In evaluating the pilot scheme, participants pointed to the benefits of having the support of peers who were working through the same issues, and also the helpfulness of the worked examples and policy templates provided by IDEA.  The good news is that IDEA is expanding the project next year to include up to 10 organisations.  If you are interested in participating, please contact Susan for further details.

And in the meantime, for organisations working on the governance section of Irish Aid Annual Grant applications — lots of good advice and sample policies are available from The Wheel. You can also read through IDEA's own organisational policies here.

In June, a delegation from our Erasmus+ partner organisation LAPAS (Latvian Platform for Development Cooperation) visited Dublin for a two-day learning and exchange visit hosted by IDEA. The visit was part of an ongoing collaboration with LAPAS to strengthen quality global citizenship education (GCE) in Ireland and Latvia, using the IDEA Code of Good Practice as a framework. You can find out more about the Erasmus+ project here.
