The SEF Alliance hosts annual in-person meetings lasting 2-3 days.  At the meetings, members engage in candid discussion with peer agencies about current challenges faced, latest programme developments, and plans for future programme design.  Experts speak about specialised topics, and proposals for new areas of collaboration are presented and discussed.  The Secretariat updates members on SEF Alliance activities, including ongoing joint projects.  Members develop the workplan for the following year at the Steering Committee meeting that is held in conjunction with this event.
