Summary of country programme

UN Women’s North Macedonia Strategic Note 2024–2025 addresses persistent gender inequality amid political polarization and European Union accession challenges.  

Operating nationwide, it prioritizes gender-responsive governance, ending violence against women, women’s economic empowerment and challenging harmful norms. Building on successful gender-responsive budgeting initiatives, it focuses on capacity-building and reintegration for marginalized women. Outreach in local communities and partnerships with municipalities, media and civil society enhance visibility and public engagement across the country.

UN Women collaborates with government institutions, including the State Audit Office and the State Statistical Office; municipalities; civil society organizations; the private sector and bilateral donors (e.g., the governments of Sweden and Switzerland). It leads coordination on gender equality and women’s empowerment within the UN country team, supports uptake of the Women’s Empowerment Principles, and is active in the Generation Equality Forum’s Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights Action Coalition.
