Background and Development

Youth Council Prilep and two partner organizations led the initiative to establish a coalition of youth organizations to apply and implement the project “National Youth Action Plan”. Continuing the process, the Coalition of Youth Organizations SEGA was unofficially established on January 20^th, 2004 in order to contribute to the development and implementation of the National Youth Strategy of Macedonia and to improve the satisfaction of the needs of the youth. On the 27^th of September 2004, a decision was made to formally register the Coalition as a citizen association. Coalition SEGA is a national organization with collective membership.

The membership of the Coalition (at the moment) consists of 15 full and 14 associate member organizations. The management structure is composed of the following bodies:

·          Assembly – composed  of all members;
