Key actors and activities• Since 2011 and with support from FES, RCC has organized and hosted regional
meetings, which discussed important social development priorities for the region. In 2013 a working group, composed of representatives of ministries of labor and social affairs, was established with the specific aim to develop the inclusive growth component of SEE2020. Two meetings of this group have identified the priority areas for regional action.
• SEECEL – promotes structured cooperation in SEE on lifelong entrepreneurial learning since 2009. The Charter for Entrepreneurial Learning: The Keystone for Growth and Jobs, signed in 2012 confirms the commitment of governments to systematic development and progress in lifelong entrepreneurial learning through continued policy improvement, good practice sharing and regional cooperation. SEECEL has actively contribute to all RCC regional meetings on SEE2020.
• SEE Health Network, a political and institutional forum that promotes cooperation on public health. The Third Health Ministers’ Forum - Health in All Policies in South-eastern Europe: a Shared Goal and Responsibility in 2011, focused on enhancing partnerships towards achieving equity and accountability in health through implementing a whole government approach and a focus on non-communicable diseases. A working meeting of the health network in Sarajevo in April 2013, set the stage for the preparation of the health dimension chapter of the SEE2020 strategy.
