The project aimed to improve the quality and effectiveness of social dialogue in Slovakia by developing an Index of Social Dialogue (ISD). This index serves as an analytical tool to evaluate social cooperation between partners, addressing the need for objective measurement of social dialogue practices. The project sought to enhance tripartite cooperation and social reconciliation through this initiative.
