Macedonia
The Challenge
The overall goal of the USAID program in Macedonia is to support the country’s transition to a free market-based, multi-ethnic democracy, with good governance and social equity. High unemployment and corruption pose the greatest risks to stability and progress in Macedonia, and represent the key development problems addressed by the USAID program. Corruption, political patronage, and undemocratic decision-making have corroded public confidence over time and undermined investors’ confidence in the economy. To address these challenges, USAID programs support legal reforms and training to foster the development of more democratic institutions, marketing and productivity improvements to promote competitiveness, institutional strengthening and reforms to create a more favorable environment for business growth, workforce development initiatives, and training and information technology upgrades to improve the quality of formal and non-formal education systems.
