This project will support the EU accession of North Macedonia by strengthening the national capacity to deliver on the structural reforms, align the country’s horizontal systems and standards with the EU ones and ensure that the invested EU funds create a value for the country and improve the every-day life of the people. In order to achieve this, the project will support North Macedonia in improving the quality of the national strategic planning, monitoring and reporting and will strengthen the policy dialogue involving authorities, civil society and donors. It will upgrade the national negotiation framework, methodology and capacity, will digitalise the coordination platforms and ensure an inclusive accession process oriented towards each citizen and each region. The project will reorganise and strengthen the established management and control systems for the EU funds and will invest in maturing projects and sector pipelines to support future EU and national investments. It is also expected that the project activities significantly improve the communication on EU policies, values and use of EU funds in the country and contribute to better public understanding of the role of the EU and the substance of the accession process in North Macedonia
