Project kickoff in North Macedonia
Yesterday, 12th February, a new project in the field of digitalization in North Macedonia was launched in Skopje.
The State Secretary at the Ministry of Digital Transformation, Ms Gordana Klincharova, and representatives of the Ministry of Local Self-Government and the Association of the Units of Local Self-Government (ZELS) held a working meeting with the CEP Project Team, headed by Ms Jelka Klemenc, Head of International Development (CEP). They were also joined by Ms Nika Rotar, Minister Plenipotentiary and Deputy Ambassador, and Ms Gjyle Vishaj, Minister Plenipotentiary, Economic Affairs (Slovenian Embassy in Skopje). They agreed upon an initial timeline, work plan, and other modalities.
The project, which is supported by the Slovenian Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs (Slovenian Aid & Partnerships), will address one of the central elements of the National Development Strategy of North Macedonia (2024–2044), related to the strategic priority of “Sustainable local and regional development.” Incorporating applicable Slovenian experience and expertise, the project will enable key steps to provide a sustainable national platform for the digital development of North Macedonia’s cities and towns and thus enable more efficient delivery of municipal services to citizens.
