About Our Organization

SEGA is a national platform of youth organizations dedicated to lobbying for needed legislative changes as well as committed to supporting youth activism, access to information and participation of young people in activities for solution of their problems.

Youth Council Prilep and two partner organizations led the initiative to establish a Coalition of youth organizations to apply and implement the project “National Youth Action Plan”. Continuing the process, the Coalition of Youth Organizations SEGA was unofficially established on January 20th, 2004 in order to contribute to the development and implementation of the National Youth Strategy of Macedonia and to improve the satisfaction of the needs of the youth. On the 27th of September 2004, a decision was made to formally register the Coalition as a citizen association. Coalition SEGA is a national organization with collective membership.

The membership of the Coalition (at the moment) consists of 12 full and 14 associate member organizations. The management structure is composed of the following bodies:

  • Assembly – composed  of all members;
  • Governing  Board – composed of five representatives from the full members;
  • Supervisory Board – composed of three representatives from the Assembly members.

The executive structure is organized in the Central office, which is located in Prilep, and four Regional offices in: Shtip, Ohrid, Tetovo and Skopje. SEGA also operates two Youth Information and Counseling Centers INFOSEGA in Prilep and Kavadarci.
