Forum 2001: New social demands and governance

           
This activity aims to bring together actors of social policies (government representatives, policy-makers, researchers, civil society and the private sector) with a view to exchanging ideas on important aspects of new social demands and governance.

A Forum took place in October 2001 for a first exchange of ideas. The objective is to encourage an inter-sectorial exchange on four topics related to new social demands and governance.
