The Strategic Plan was adopted by members at the General Assembly on 27 March 2006. A key feature of the plan is the proposal to structure a large amount of our work around a series of annual themes, in order to help us in setting our own agenda, rather than always responding to that of the EU Institutions, as well as to help us engage with national social NGOs, and focus on the longer-term development of social Europe.
