Project has been realized in the Southwest Mountain Region of the Republic of Macedonia , with a narrower focus of Debar, and in the Dibra region , Albania. The main focus of the project is unemployment of young people from both sides of the border . Unemployment is a persistent problem for the two regions, especially seen through the spectrum of an increasing migration . Today there are not sufficient number of common activities to promote and develop platforms to facilitate the exchange of experiences between young people from both regions which would generate benefits for all . During the last years it has been observed that there is a large discrepancy between the skills that are created in educational institutions in the Republic of Albania and the Republic of Macedonia and skills which are required in the labor market . Which contributes to a growing rate of youth unemployment . Overall objective of the project is: • Promoting partnership between various local government agencies, educational institutions, youth organizations and the private sector on both sides of the border in order to achieve social cohesion among the young generation and • Building the capacity of government and non-governmental affected parties with respect to youth employment and self-employment. Specific project objectives are: • The project aims to assist in the development and provision of opportunities for young people to participate in economic and social life of both regions, allowing access for young people to working environment and socio-economic integration. Better understanding of the key elements of developing a stable business , youth employment , social and cultural interaction as a tool for business development and employment

  • Slovenia Have Been Remarkable
    Mrak/Rojec/Silva-Jáur lovenia’s achievements over the past several years Slovenia have been remarkable.

Remarkably, however, very little has been published Slovenia documenting this historic transition. Fr om Y In the only book of its kind, the contributors—many of them the architects of Slovenia’s current transformation—analyze the country’s three-fold ugoslavia to the Eur transition from a socialist to a market economy, from a regionally based to a national economy, and from being a part of the Socialist Federative Republic of Yugoslavia to being an independent state and a member of the European Union (EU). With chapters from Slovenia’s president, a former vice prime minister, Public Disclosure Authorized the current and previous ministers of finance, the minister of European affairs, the current and former governors of the Bank of Slovenia, as well as from leading development scholars in Slovenia and abroad, this unique opean Union collection synthesizes Slovenia’s recent socioeconomic and political history and assesses the challenges ahead. Contributors discuss the Slovenian style of socioeconomic transformation, analyze Slovenia’s quest for EU membership, and place Slovenia’s transition within the context of the broader transition process taking place in Central and Eastern Europe. Of interest to development practitioners and to students and scholars of the region, Slovenia: From Yugoslavia to the European Union is a From Yugoslavia comprehensive and illuminating study of one country’s path to political and economic independence.

These contributions are crucial for advancing our mutual efforts towards improved local development in Macedonia. About Local Systems Practice: Local Systems Practice is a USAID-funded activity that directly assists multiple Missions, partners, and constituents to design and adaptively manage systems-based programs in complex environments. The concept has been designed to aid Missions and partners to overcome four specific challenges to effective Local Systems Practice through: a) Listening; b) Engagement; c) Discovery; and d) Adaptation. The Theory of Change underpinning the activity asserts that the application of systems tools to complex local challenges at multiple intervals throughout the program cycle will enhance the sustainability of programming, resulting in better-informed, measurable interventions that complement and reinforce the systems they seek to strengthen.

  • And Macedonia (Pp
    Summer 2018 - Greece (pp. 1-9) and Macedonia (pp. 9 -16) - Elly’s notes I traveled to Greece for a second summerschool (see here for the first). I left Arizona on a Monday morning and arrived in Thessaloniki on Tuesday afternoon before traveling on to Naxos on Wednesday. Thessaloniki is the second largest city in Greece and the capital of the Greek province of Macedonia. After Naxos, I would be traveling to the Republic of Macedonia which, under Greek pressure, may be changing its name to the Republic of Northern Macedonia (more below). Of course, some Greek nationalists don’t want the name Macedonia mentioned at all and some Macedonians don’t like the change either. When I was here, a scandal erupted of meddling by the Russians who don’t want this `deal’ either since it will pave the way for Macedonia to join NATO. Thessaloniki was built and rebuilt many times: it went from a pre-historic settlement to Macedonian, Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman rule. Its fire in 1917 made it possible to plan a new city (see picture below). It was on the Via Egnatia (as is Ohrid) which connected Rome to Istanbul and is now a footpath. Old city walls are still around. Thessaloniki’s grid Typical building 1 More varied building styles Thessaloniki citywalls From Thessaloniki, I went to Naxos for the summer school (with some 35 participants some of whom are shown below). Naxos continues to be a wonderful place: lots of history, swimming, and hiking. Some highlights follow below. Summer school (these two pictures are by Kristel Fischer) 2 Moni Chrisostomou overlooks the chora of Naxos; two nuns remain in the monastery, which has a most beautiful church.
