The AAE Steering Committee initiated this meeting for the first time in 2016 to identify needs and demands of AAE’s member organisations. It was a step forward to involve the member and partner organisations into the discussion on how to support civil society movement at national and European level and on how to build up capacities for advocacy in the WHO European region. The meeting became a platform with really great exchange between eastern and western NGOs.
