REC NETWORK CALL

The members of the REC Network Advisory Board on December 19, 2024, convened for an important meeting to discuss past activities and future strategies for the network. Participants included Directors, Mihallaq Qirqo from REC Albania, Lejla Suman from REC Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Rifat Ünal Sayman from REC Türkiye, and Milena Manova Ilikj, President of REC North Macedonia. The meeting focused on reviewing the activities undertaken by REC Network member organizations in 2024 and planning strategic priorities for 2025.

One of the central topics of discussion was the need to enhance collaboration across the network by developing a unified annual report format. This initiative aims to standardize reporting across RECs and improve transparency and efficiency. Additionally, efforts to establish common administrative standards and policies were highlighted as a crucial step toward streamlining operations within the REC network.

To further strengthen collaboration, it was decided that the next Advisory Board meeting will be organized as an in-person workshop in Istanbul during the second quarter of 2025. In preparation for this workshop, working groups will be established during the first quarter of the new year to ensure effective planning and productive outcomes. These groups will focus on specific tasks related to the network’s strategic goals and administrative alignment.

Members of the REC Network:

Albania: Resource Environmental Center

Bosnia and Herzegovina: Resource Environmental Center

North Macedonia: Resource Environmental Center

Türkiye: Resource Environment and Climate Association

This collaborative effort underscores the commitment of the REC Network to foster cooperation, establish shared standards, and strengthen its impact across member countries.
