For what purpose would you use the database?
TUDCN General Meeting, May 2012 Trade union development projects database
to find information on the nature of projects, themes, partners and stakeholders and regions and countries and funders
to ensure that there is no overlapping or duplication of projects with one or several organisations
to check if we can build synergy with projects already in implementation
to get in touch with trade unions participating in projects for support and/or cooperation in future projects
to gather information and knowledge from projects outcomes
as inspiration for similar projects that could be developed at a smaller scale (national, regional)
as a source of contact persons in different cases (asking advice or point of view in similar experiences, etc.)
to facilitate creating joint projects for better impact
to also share and learn from labour development best practices

General in-formationDetailed in-formation
What level of detail of the
database would be useful for your
work?“Even if details are important, there is always the risk that feeding the database is a burden for the organisations, so it should be kept very light and it shouldn't require too much time to provide information”

Should all the information be
