Up to date SONCE has received the greatest support by RPP-OSI. This support consists mainly of the institutional support that SONCE recieves each year by RPP-OSI., with which SONCE covers the basic costs of the organization in its current work, the regular activities in the area of education are being realized, the cooperation between the sides which care about issues concerning Roma is being realized, and also, the resources for the support of the rest of the projects and activities within the organization are being provided. Besides this, the regular contact with RPP-OSI contributes in the exchange of information and experiences connected to the work of the organization, the building of capacities in the organization, as well as, building the credibility of SONCE outside the Republic of Macedonia. Also, we have to accentuate the fact that after an initiative of the representatives of this program SONCE has been formally registered as an organization and this program provided the basic support for the beginning of the work and the building of the organization. This cooperation is at a high level and it is of crucial importance for the work of the organization.
Sun is a local partner of the Minority Rights Group International from London, England in the South-East Europe Programme from 2004. This partnership was established after previous two-year active cooperation. Through the cooperation and the support with MRG, Sun established itself and became especially eminent in the field of advocacy and lobbying for the human / minority rights and promotion of the UN and Council of Europe instruments. Several projects are undertaken on national and international level, and as specially important to our organization is the participation in the international conferences and workshops, where accept knowledge and skills, the organization got the opportunity to present the problems of Roma in Macedonia before important development agencies within the United Nations, the Council of Europe, and the European Commission.

This year finishes the second three-year phase of the program MRG, for Southeast Europe. Currently, the preparation of the third output phase of this program is in process. In the next three years, it has been planend that SONCE should intensively cooperate with MRG together with the organization ADI from Gostivar, which is also a partner organization for forming a network of NGOs for minority rights. It is being expected, besides funds for the activities in the framework of the organization, the partner organization should receive a particular institutional support from MRG.
In this context, it is important to mention the strong partnership that is building up between SONCE and ADI as local partners of MRG, but also outside it. Both organizations work on similar projects and find common field for cooperation. In this way, both organizations take into consideration the other organization when it comes to planning their own work, and also, actively cooperate more often.
