ANNEX 1
A TV BROADCAST DEVOTED TO NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS
 
  The basic purpose of the broadcast is to reveal the potentials of the independent civil associations in helping the formation of the civil society in our country, in consolidating the traditional values like mutual aid, charity, donation and to share the experience of the developed countries in the field of "The Third Sector"; getting the public familiar with the various charity initiatives and humanitarian aids which are offered by foreign donors.

The broadcast aims at opening a permanent forum for the expression of the Bulgarian non-economic community; informing the public of the significance, role and activity of the civil associations and enhancing the public trust on them by providing a broad publicity and openness of their work; outlining the trends of interaction of the non-economic organizations with the state institutions, the business initiative and the citizens; boosting the development of the internal links between those who need support and those who are able to offer support.

The project for a TV broadcast, devoted to the non-governmental organizations, became one of the most significant phenomena of the whole non-productive sector of the Bulgarian economy with regard to its public support and admiration.
