Within the framework of this joint initiative between the Government of the Republic of North Macedonia and the European Commission, the development of an important strategic document was initiated, the so-called Employment and Social Reform Programme 2020 - ESRP. The preparation of the document was envisaged by the European Commission as an inclusive and participatory strategic process that would follow and accompany the process of European integration of the candidate countries and would also represent an important mechanism for mutual dialogue through setting and regular monitoring of priorities in the areas covered, and which would be structured following the model of the European Union Strategy "Europe 2020". The process of preparation of the ESPR in the Republic of North Macedonia has started in the beginning of 2015. Taking into account the necessity of a multi-sectoral approach and effective coordination and cooperation between the various entities, in February 2015, a special InterInterInter-Inter---sectoralsectoral Working Group has been established for the preparation of the Employment and Social Reform Programme, composed of representatives of all relevant institutions participating in the development, implementation and monitoring of the policies covered by the Programme. The work of the Inter-sectoral Working Group and the overall process of preparation of the Programme were coordinated by the Ministry of Labour and Social Policy. The process of development of ESPR 2020 was open and participatory, and included a process of intensive consultations with a large number of relevant stakeholders who, in different ways and at different levels, participate in the development, implementation and/or monitoring of policies in the areas covered by the Programme. During the preparation of the Programme, consultations were held with the social partners, representatives of the civil society, representatives of relevant international organizations and development partners, professors and experts in the fields, who contributed to significantly increase the quality, relevance and representativeness of the document itself. The development of the ESRP was also characterized with continuing consultations and cooperation with the representatives of the European Commission (DG EMPL) and the Delegation of the European Union in the Republic of North Macedonia. The "Employment and Social Reform Programme 2020" was adopted by the Government of the Republic of North Macedonia in August 2017 (at the 19th GRM Session, held on August 3, 2017). --- 444 --- Republic of North Macedonia, REVISED ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL REFORM PROGRAMME 2022 - ESRP(r) After two years of active implementation of the objectives and measures under ESRP 2020 a need arose to revise the Programme. The revision was necessitated by the changes in the setup of the policies, some of which - such as those in the sphere of the social policy - saw structural shifts; as well as by the current trends and developments, which instigated the need to revise some of the target values in ESRP 2020. Thus, a revision of ESRP 2020 was initiated in July 2019 and the Programme was extended until 2022. The ESRP was revised in terms of content, while maintaining its structure, in principle, so as to provide for continuity in the monitoring of the targets. The revised ESRP 2022 - ESRP(r) noted the progress made in the two years since the adoption of ESRP 2020, which implied a major revision of the measures and target values of the indicators. The overall process of preparation of the Revised ESRP was carried out in full cooperation, coordination and consultations among all relevant stakeholders (state institutions, international organizations and development partners, civil society and social partners), primarily through their participation in the Sector Working Group on "Education, Employment, and Social Policy”. The Sector Working Group is composed of representatives of the following institutions: Ministry of Labour and Social Policy, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Education and Science, Ministry of Health, Cabinet of the Deputy Prime Minister of the Government of the Republic of North Macedonia responsible for Economic Affairs, Cabinet of the Minister without portfolio in charge of the Roma Strategy, Secretariat for European Affairs, State Labour Inspectorate, State Statistical Office, Bureau for Development of Education, Employment Service Agency of the Republic of North Macedonia, Vocational Education and Training Centre, Adult Education Centre, PI Institute for Social Activities - Skopje, National Agency for European Educational Programmes and Mobility. The Sector Working Group discussed and adopted the document at its fifth meeting held on 19.12.2019 and tasked the Ministry of Labour and Social Policy with the delivery of the Revised ESRP 2022 to the Government of the Republic of North Macedonia for adoption. The formulation of the Revised ESRP was supported by a national expert commissioned through ILO’s Strengthening Social Dialogue Project (co-financed by EU and ILO). The preparation of the Revised Programme included consultations with the social partners and representatives of the civil society who are engaging in the areas covered by ESRP, in order to inform them about the content of the Revised Programme and obtain their comments, observations and positions. It should be noted that the Committee on employment and labour market policies within the Economic and Social Council (ESC), which is composed of representatives of the social partners, took part in the process for the development of the present document, together with the national expert and most of the relevant and competent institutions and organizations. The Committee discussed and adopted the draft of the Revised ESRP 2022 at its session held on 19.11.2019 and made a proposal to the Economic and Social Council to deliberate upon and adopt the draft. --- 555 --- Republic of North Macedonia, REVISED ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL REFORM PROGRAMME 2022 - ESRP(r) The Economic and Social Council reviewed, discussed and adopted the Revised Employment and Social Reform Programme on its 55th session held on 26.12.2019. A consultative meeting with representatives of the civil society was held on 12.12.2019. At the meeting the representatives of the line ministries presented the Revised Employment and Social Reform Programme 2022. The consultative meeting was also used to discuss the objectives and measures set, as well as the manner of measuring the success in their implementation. The civil society organizations had an opportunity to comment and provide specific recommendations concerning the content of the programme and thus contribute to the process of development of the document. The discussion placed special attention on the draft indicators. After the meeting the participants were provided with an opportunity to deliver their comments in writing and several organizations made use of such option before the meeting of the Sector Working Group on "Education, Employment and Social Policy". The "Revised Employment and Social Reform Programme ESRP(r) 2020" was adopted by the Government of the Republic of North Macedonia in December 2019 (at the 174th GRNM Session, held on December 28, 2019). --- 666 --- Republic of North Macedonia, REVISED ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL REFORM PROGRAMME 2022 - ESRP(r) TablTablTableTable of contents 1.1.1.
