Talks aimed at intensifying cooperation with the third sector are taking place in the framework of the EcoC bid. Three meetings with representatives of non-governmental organizations took place. They were concerned with the rules of accessibility of offers for NGOs in open competitions, the creation of the Non-Governmental Organizations Support Center, and the details of the work of competition committees in Lublin.
A meeting on accessibility in the activities of non-governmental organizations commissioned by the City of Lublin was held on July 9.
