Denis Stands Up Against Discrimination
Discrimination against the Roma community has been an ongoing problem in North Macedonia. When Denis was denied entry at a public pool, he turned to a local people-centered justice organization for support.
2024-2026
Action Plan 6
North Macedonia is currently implementing its sixth action plan. The commitments in North Macedonia’s sixth action plan are organised under five themes: anti-corruption, citizen participation & participative decision making, access to justice, development and use of digital technologies, and activities related to climate change. North Macedonia will also implement its third Open Parliament action plan.
Discrimination against the Roma community has been an ongoing problem in North Macedonia. When Denis was denied entry at a public pool, he turned to a local people-centered justice organization for support.
Justice has become one of the most popular policy areas across the Partnership and the Independent Reporting Mechanism (IRM) has found many of these commitments to be highly impactful.
When eight governments and nine civil society leaders launched OGP in 2011, no one expected it to reach its current size and scope. Over the last ten years, however, OGP has grown in ways that have exceeded expectations.

These are recommendations on the role that each OGP member might play in each policy area. The recommendations are derived from a combination of the IRM-based findings and third-party scores.
