SEESAC Continues to Facilitate Dialogue on SALW Control in South East Europe
Since its inception in 2002, SEESAC has develop a considerable and unique network of partners including government institutions, international organizations, NGOs, media, donors and expert communities relevant for the work on SALW Control in South East Europe and beyond.
Taking on a role of a “SALW Control Focal Point,” SEESAC actively facilitates a continuous dialogue within this network, thus ensuring that confidence is built, the best ideas and practices are cross-fertilized, invaluable experiences shared and duplications of efforts avoided.
One of the key ways in which SEESAC helps sustain this important exchange is by attending relevant regional and international events.
In 2013, SEESAC attended and made formal presentations at eighteen (18) relevant SALW related events. Below you can see a list of SEESAC’s attendance at conferences, workshops, meetings and seminars. For more information on a specific event, click the highlighted headline.
