The Ministers’ Deputies adopted the Organisation’s Programme and budget for 2020-2021, at their 1361^st meeting, on 19-21 November. The budget, totalling €254 844 600* (Ordinary Budget only) for 2020, has been adopted on the basis of zero real growth and includes decisions that provide a positive direction for future work in terms of longer-term strategic vision and financial sustainability. As in previous years, the Programme and budget is organised around the three pillars of democracy, human rights and the rule of law.

• a recommendation to member States to develop and promote digital citizenship education;
