Women in Macedonia (especially those from socially excluded groups) are affected by unequal treatment and therfore low participation in economic and political decision making processes. Although the legislation in place has already set the basis for equal treatment of women and men, in practice the mechanisms lack the capacity to implement, monitor and evaluate specific measures and actions.

The project wanted to change this situation by strengthening the participation of civil society organisations in drafting gender aware legislation and in monitoring the implementation of the legislation by organizing seminars and trainings aimed at increased participation of relevant NGOs in the policy-making process. 

Outputs:

• Four-day study trip to the Czech Republic. The trip aimed to familiarize its participants with advocacy and lobbying initiatives for gender equality and participation in policy making in the Czech Republic. Organized by EUROPEUM for local CSOs EOCs and municipal representatives from Macedonia.
