Here are discussed the most important forms of cooperation in the areas other than financing: exchange of information about planned activities and cooperation with a view to harmonising these operations; consulting NGOs, depending on the profile of their activity and drafted normative acts regarding the statutory activities of these organisations; and the creation of common teams of advisors and initiators, made up of representatives of NGOs and relevant bodies of public administration.
