Program description

The consultative mechanism Sectoral civil society organizations (SECO) was established with the aim to facilitate civil society participation in monitoring and programming of EU and other development assistance. The mechanism was established in 2011 by the European Integration Office of the Republic of Serbia (KEI) in their efforts to improve the programming process and increase the efficiency of the use of development funds, especially EU assistance, as well as creating and promoting constructive dialogue between the state and civil society. The objectives of SECO are elaborated in the brochure Introducing SECO.

Civil society organizations (CSOs) that are involved in the work of SECO mechanism are divided into 10 different thematic sectors mirroring thepriority thematic areas defined in the international development assistance policy documents. Read more about the work of SECO.
