Throughout 2026, the CEF will celebrate its 25th anniversary. We will celebrate this milestone also with our governance bodies and through outreach activities.

The Governing Board will convene for its annual meeting in June in Skopje, North Macedonia, where it will review the CEF’s achievements, business and financial reports, future work plans, and deliberate on key issues shaping the CEF’s strategic direction.

The Advisory Board will provide recommendations on CEF program development and implementation at its meeting in March, as well as through ad-hoc consultations throughout the year.

The Coordinators - representatives of ministries of finance, central banks, and tax administrations responsible for the strategic capacity development of their institutions - will meet for their biennial face-to-face meeting in June in Skopje, North Macedonia. Their discussions will focus on empowering future leaders and strengthening their engagement in shaping a sustainable future. In January, we will hold an online meeting with Coordinators from central banks and ministries of finance to present the learning opportunities the CEF will offer in 2026 and dicuss their institutions' learning needs and priorities for the near future.
