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.
Current Action Plan
2021-2023
Action Plan 5
- Number of Commitments: 40
- Policy Area Focus: Not specified
North Macedonia’s fifth action plan exceeds the ambition of previous plans, particularly in public procurement transparency, public-service delivery, and access to justice for vulnerable groups. Full implementation could position North Macedonia as a regional leader in the Western Balkans in key open government areas and address priorities in the EU accession process. Given the large scale and scope of the action plan, close collaboration between public institutions and civil society is needed for strong results.
The commitments in North Macedonia’s fifth action plan are organised under five themes: transparency, anti-corruption, public-service delivery, access to justice, and environment and climate action. The commitments cover numerous topics, including public procurement, monitoring public officials’ asset declarations, integrating citizen priorities in public-service delivery, and strengthening access to free legal aid. North Macedonia will also implement its second Open Parliament action plan, as well as its first Open Justice action plan on improving judicial transparency. (More)
A Clear Commitment to Justice
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.
OGP at Ten: Toward Democratic Renewal
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.
