International conferences are platforms that not only provide opportunities to network with like-minded individuals and organizations, but also entry-points for NGOs to explore funding partnerships with donors. Many of these conferences are attended by international donors actively looking for organizations that can benefit from their funding. Often these gatherings lead to successful NGO-donor collaborations.
We have selected a list of upcoming conferences, training programs and short-term courses that can be beneficial for NGOs in terms of building their capacities and also for exploring potential partnerships with other agencies. In many cases, these conferences are paid events and participants have to register and pay for their own travel and accommodation. But there may be full or partial scholarships available for individuals and organizations from poor and developing countries. Nevertheless, these events are worth an investment as they help organizations strengthen their networks and look for funding possibilities.

Being a local organization committed into the process of the social and economic welfare of the local communities who are mostly the victims of consecutive wars and ethnic conflicts in our country (Democratic Republic of Congo), these conferences are for the Global Hearts for Hope “GHH-NGO” an entry point to bring the wished solutions to problems facing them through partnership with those donors.
