The Standing Conference of Towns and Municipalities has a key role as a competent, modern, recognized and reliable association representing local self-governments in Serbia. In respect to this, our future activities within the Program component will be focused on enhancing the ability of SCTM to generate initiatives, ownership and buy-in of development activities at local level, strengthening institutional and organizational capacity of SCTM and enabling financial sustainability of SCTM.

In order to achieve enhanced ability of SCTM to generate initiatives, ownership and buy-in of development activities on local level, trainings and education are foreseen, together with institutional exchange between SCTM and SALAR on topics related to association organization and functioning, SALAR approach to lobbying, member services, international relations activities, etc.

Strengthened institutional and organizational capacity of SCTM will be gained through educational support and enhanced skills of SCTM staff in generic skills related to result based management, monitoring and evaluation, facilitation skills, negotiation skills and coaching.
