The 'Joint Efforts for a Gender Equal Society' project aims to promote a more inclusive and equitable society by strengthening the participation and empowerment of women and vulnerable groups in North Macedonia. It focuses on ensuring that these groups are actively involved in shaping public policies, budgets, and services that affect their social and economic rights. By fostering inclusive decision-making processes, the project contributes to policies that better reflect the needs and priorities of citizens.

In addition, the project works to improve access to justice and legal support, particularly for those facing resistance in exercising their rights. It also promotes transparency and accountability in public spending, encouraging greater citizen oversight and trust in institutions. Through strengthened partnerships between civil society, public authorities, and local communities, the project supports the development of more gender-responsive and inclusive governance practices.
