Goals / remit
| Goals / remit of the organisation: |
In its first 20 years of activity, the Foundation has developed programs dedicated to education – scholarships, access to technology and internet, alternative manuals – but also to public health issues, culture, civil society and NGO development. The Soros Foundation was the first Romanian organization to have developed a long term and exhaustive program of monitoring social changes in Romania - the Public Opinion Barometer.
The support for the development of Romania as an open society dates from 1990, when the Soros Foundation for an Open Society Association was established.
Continuing to focus on critical issues for the development of the Romanian society, the Foundation currently streams its financial and human efforts towards advocacy activities, also gaining and providing substantial expertise in fields such as migration and inclusion of vulnerable and marginalized minorities, and going further with monitoring the decision-making process at both central and local levels, the fair allocation of EU funds etc.
The Foundation role in Romania is to act as a change agent for the society, sizing its most pressing problems and proposing practical solutions by combining innovation, resources and opportunity. Through our entrepreneurial approach we propose solutions to social problems and then, if worthy, scale them up on our own or through others by mobilizing outside resources. Our mission is to fuel the society with new ideas for wide-scale change.
