The objective of the project was to strengthen the capacity of social partners. Furthermore, the project aimed at facilitating and developing national social dialogue. Lastly, the project aimed at improving the knowledge of the European social partners and about national concerns and demands in the countries involved.

The project received financial support from the European Union under the budget heading “Support for Social Dialogue”.
