ABOUT US
SLOGA is a Slovenian NGO platform/network bringing together 38 Slovenian NGOs active in international development cooperation, global (citizenship) education and humanitarian aid. The aim of the platform is to connect and strengthen the partnerships among Slovenian NGOs, which are active in and/or are raising awareness of Slovenian and European public about coherent development and global solidarity.
SLOGA serves as the key national NGO interlocutor for policy-making processes on international development cooperation and international humanitarian aid. As an umbrella organisation, SLOGA mostly focuses on advocacy, capacity development, awareness-raising and information service activities.
In 2015, SLOGA has launched the Coalition 2030 initiative, an informal network with the purpose of promoting Slovenia’s responsibility in implementing the SDGs. Since 2015, SLOGA has been engaged as the coordinator of an informal NGO coalition working on migration, refugee and integration issues, with the aim of assuring coherent and coordinated response to the crisis in Slovenia – through joint advocacy activities and appeals to the Government, capacity-building activities and debates with the aim of exchanging information and experience.
SLOGA is an active member of CONCORD, Forus, ALDA, SDG Watch Europe and EADI.
