The ultimate goal is to help improve or expand the existing services and create new services, if needed, for children with disabilities in line with ICF-CY approach. The general context within which this analysis unfolds is set by the process of deinstitutionalisation which recently has started to take place in the country. A major task of this process is creating an environment for integration of the children with disabilities in their natural living environment, in line with the Convention of the Rights of People with Disabilities. Therefore, this report looks at two major aspects: the extent to which the provided services are family-centred and, on the other hand, how much they are oriented towards child development. METHODOLOGY The methodology of data collection involves desk review (strategic documents and statistical data); In-depth Interviews (17 with total of 38 experts and managers); Focus group discussions (59 biological and foster parents in total); 10 Observation of existing services (staff and beneficiaries); E-mail survey among 27 CSW and 25 DCCs). MAJOR FINDINGS GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION AND COVERAGE OF ALTERNATIVE CARE AND FAMILY-SUPPORT SERVICES The following services are available: 30 Centres for Social Work (providing administration services but not doing direct social work with clients); 30 state-run Daily care Centres for children (in bigger cities; available for 9.78% of all children with disabilities); Organized supported living; Foster Care (91 children with disabilities); Small group home (one child with disability). The access of children with disabilities to the family support services is limited: • DCC are concentrated in the bigger cities. People from the small settlements lack conveniently located services; • Transportation issues – transport available in some of the DCCs only, and where available, there are issues around area of coverage, timing for picking up and dropping off. In the majority of centres the physical access via transportation is at low to medium level of accessibility; • Inconvinient working time with children in the DCCs - working time with children until 2 p.m., which disables parents to go to work, thus limiting one of the purposes of the service i.e. enabling parents to work. 5 ASSESSMENT OF ALTERNATIVE FORMS OF CARE AND FAMILY SUPPORT SERVICES FOR 6 CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES IN THE FORMER YUGOSLAV REPUBLIC OF MACEDONIA NUMBER AND TYPE OF BENEFICIARIES There are a total of 4112 children with disability registered by Centres for social work, i.e. 0,71% of the total population of 0 - 26 age group. The actual number is likely to be much higher due to issues around the system for assessment of disability. The majority (92%) of the children with disabilities live in their biological families. The only family-support service available is the Daily Care Centre. However, it is not available to 90.22% of the children due to either small capacity or unavailability of the service in 3 municipalities. For each group the existing services do not cover the whole continuum of care, e.g. a big portion of the variety of needs of the children with disabilities and their families remains unmet. Family-support services widely lack for the following groups of beneficiaries: • Children below 6 – DCC work with children above 5; • Children from the autistic spectrum – 1 DCC identified and is still insufficiently developed; • Children visiting school – the working hours of service and schools coincide i.e. preventing children with disabilities to use both; • The children with mild to moderate disabilities - None of the available services targets such children; • Parents as such - The very family is not recognised yet as a direct beneficiary of any service (in one service only the parents are involved as co- therapists). FUNDING Financial planning of services is based on the principle of main subsistence cost of the service i.e. is service-oriented rather than clients’ needs-oriented and is not based on performance indicators. Hence the methodology of funding is not one that fosters improvement of service quality. Moreover, service managers are stripped from a substantial function of management i.e. financial management The current funding mechanism does not set equal basis for all potential service providers entitled by law (state, NGOs, municipalities, private entities) to access the public funding. The financial planning favours alternative care (e.g. foster care) of children with disability vs. biological family support. STAFF STRUCTURE AND AVAILABILITY OF REGULAR TRAINING OF STAFF The ratio of child development staff vs basic needs staff is 1:1. This ratio should have been in favour of development staff in case child development was a leading service objective. Therefore, staff structure does not give weight to the priority of the service i.e. development of the children and is hence not relevant to the goal of the service (skills for independent living). The small number of social workers (14 i.e. 9.64% of the total DCC staff) as well as the fact that in more than half of the DCCs there is no social worker is indicative that working with families and developing children’s independent living skills is a task with lower weight than DCC goal would require. The number of professional staff working with children is only sufficient for group work but not sufficient for individual work. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 7 COOPERATION WITH OTHER SECTORS Existing services have little or no inter-sector link which potentially reduces their capacity to re- spond to the clients’ needs more adequately and hence fails to sufficiently fulfil the fundamental goals regarding children with disabilities of all sectors (i.e. social inclusion, quality healthcare, inclusive education). Planning of services for children with disabilities is recognised largely as a responsibility of the Ministry of Labour and Social Policy. Matching the existing needs to available services reveals that as a result of service planning and design having little inter-sector nature, there is a certain level of mismatch of what the systems provide and what the children and fami- lies need (e.g. 1147 children visit school but there are 125 defectologists available for the whole country1). SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE STAFF The findings clearly indicate that the ultimate goal of the DCC to foster development of the child towards independent living is presently not achieved due to the following factors: • Service goals are perceived differently by staff and parents. The staff set goals in terms of basic skills development (hygiene, independent feeding, etc.) while parents expect that basic skills development should be only one step towards achieving a greater level of independent living. The different perceptions of the service goal has strong implications on the adopted approaches applied in the centres, the range of activities performed, the selection of staff, resource planning, location, type of professional support, etc. • From the parents’ perspective the range of activities employed in the DCC are not oriented towards achieving the ultimate goal. • The care planning concept is present but is not applied as an integrated approach e.g.

    E2120 EMP Checklist for Construction and Rehabilitation Activities General Guidelines for use of EMP checklist: For low-risk topologies, such as school and hospital rehabilitation activities, the ECA Public Disclosure Authorized safeguards team developed an alternative to the current EMP format to provide an opportunity for a more streamlined approach to preparing EMPs for minor rehabilitation or small-scale works in building construction, in the health, education and public services sectors. The checklist-type format has been developed to provide “example good practices” and designed to be user friendly and compatible with safeguard requirements. The EMP checklist-type format attempts to cover typical core mitigation approaches to civil works contracts with small, localized impacts. It is accepted that this format provides the key elements of an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) or Environmental Management Framework (EMF) to meet World Bank Environmental Assessment requirements under OP 4.01. The intention of this checklist is that it would be applicable as guidelines for the small works contractors and constitute an Public Disclosure Authorized integral part of bidding documents for contractors carrying out small civil works under Bank-financed projects. The checklist has three sections: Part 1 includes a descriptive part that characterizes the project and specifies in terms the institutional and legislative aspects, the technical project content, the potential need for capacity building program and description of the public consultation process. This section could be up to two pages long. Attachments for additional information can be supplemented when needed. Part 2 includes an environmental and social screening checklist, where activities and potential environmental issues can be checked in a simple Yes/No format.

MACEDONIA Michael Risteski University “St. Kliment Ohridski” - Bitola, Faculty of Tourism and Hospitality, Ohrid, Republic of N. Macedonia, [email protected] Sasho Korunovski University “St. Kliment Ohridski” - Bitola, Faculty of Tourism and Hospitality, Ohrid, Republic of N. Macedonia, [email protected] Jordan Kocevski [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper is the result of the conducted research activities in the preparing of a Sub-strategy for Cultural Tourism in the Republic of N. Macedonia in 2019 in which the author was directly involved. The research involved determining the current state of cultural tourism through situation analysis and valorization of various cultural tourism potentials. This resulted in specifying concrete spatial units and values that have the most favorable opportunities for active inclusion in the current tourism offer. Two types of spatial units were defined – existing and new areas which were zoned and mapped. Existing areas have the aim to enrich the current tourism offer in order to make them more attractive. New areas have the purpose for creating new tourism products and services that will be competitive. This paper examines the South-west Planning Region as the most developed in the country with the aim to promote cultural tourism development. KEY WORDS: Cultural tourism, tourism development, tourism potentials, tourism attractions, tourism mapping. 7 INTRODUCTION Tourism as a multidimensional and multifactorial occurrence has become a global phenomenon that is developing at an unprecedented pace.
