6 where the Foundation was active, primarily in educating the Roma population.
FOSIM attracted public attention and initiated wide public and institu- tional debates on several issues, such as decentral- ization, sponsorship and philanthropy in the civil sector, freedom of infor- mation, integration of IT in Macedonia, Roma-related issues, and the status of the nongovernmental sec- tor in the country... FOSIM contributed to the development of several national acts: Na- tional Strategy on Education Development, National IT Strat- egy, Law on Public Access to Information, and the Law on Citi- zens’ Associations and Foundations.
In 2005, FOSIM also worked on its capacities to respond to ex- pected processes and events in the course of the following year - primarily Parliamentary Elections and EU accession, thus devel- oping its platform for priority activities. At the same time, FOSIM strengthened its commitment to its mission - the integration of the country within and its integration within the EU. ++389 2/3296-1 42, Roma EducationProgram,190, Zoran Cali East-East Program Slavica Indzevska Vladimir Milcin Mangement Nikola Tupanceski Saso Klekovski Mabera Kamberi Hasan Jasari Nikola Gelevski Gordana Duvnjak Mersel Bilali Emilija Simoska Slobodanka Markovska Executive Board www.soros.org.mk [email protected] Fax: ++3892/2444-499 Tel. ++3892/2444-488 1000 Skopje,RepublicofMacedonia Bul.

With the support of the Pestalozzi Children’s Foundation, additional activities were or- ganized for 5th to 8th grade students identified as the most vulnerable period for Roma primary school students to drop-out. The actions with this group of children, along with affirmative action for enrollment in secondary education organized in Kumanovo, re- sulted with a 12% increase of school performance compared to the previous year, as well as enrolment of 62 eight grade students in high schools in Skopje, Kumanovo and Prilep. Within this component FOSIM also organized trainings and assistance for de- veloping Working Manuals for the centers to ensure systematic description of the operation of the centers, including curricu- lum development, student portfolio stan- dards and working procedures established in a systemized and transparent manner. This component was financed by USAID, Pestalozzi Children’s Foundation, FOSIM and REI, Budapest.
The secondary school component enabled 247 Roma second-year high school students to receive scholarships and school-based mentorship assistance by 111 high-school teachers in 57 secondary schools included in the program. USAID provided scholarship and mentorship support for 200 REP’ sec- ondary school beneficiaries, while OSCE and the Hungarian Embassy provided support for the remaining 47 students. The scholarship has secured family support and improved the educational inputs such as textbooks, supplementary learning materials, transpor- tation, food, clothes etc. The mentors received training on learning techniques, work with parents and team work. Each student had one extra hour after school mentorship assistance, every working day. Mentors supported the students in their subject studies, academic planning and active learning with the purpose to improve the overall school performance of Roma students (their GPA, regular school attendance and involvement in after school activities). The regional advisors of the Bureau for Development of Edu- cation and FOSIM monitored the work of the mentors and the student progress in the course of the school year. The evaluation of the secondary component of the Program show a retention rate of 93.6% among scholarship beneficiaries which is 4.6% higher than the gross national retention rate for secondary education of 89%. The program provided additional opportunities for 137 Roma secondary school students from all school years (1st-4th) to participate in Pestalozzi Children’s Foundation funded

Roma Women Enterprise Support u Implementing organizations: FOSIM, and Foundation Horizonti u Donors: Network Economic and Business Development Program and Council of Europe Development Bank / Norway Trust Account u Aim: to improve socio-economic position of Roma women and generate self em ployment
The first component of the project (micro lending to Roma women entrepreneurs) pro- vided loans for this marginalized group that has difficult or no access to loans from commercial banks. The micro financing foundation Horizonti implemented a method of solidarity groups of women borrowers, who would guarantee each others’ loans, as a substitute to standard collateral. This overcomes the obstacles for access to loans caused by borrowers’ inability to provide conventional collateral - like employed guar- antors or mortgage. This component achieved its target for the first year of implementa- tion - 350 micro loans were serviced. The loan fund of EUR 160,000 will be further used as a revolving fund for the same purpose, as it became part of the Horizonti loan port- folio.
The second component of the project provided entrepreneurial training to 170 Roma women, which is in excess by 70% of the initially set target. Participants were taught basic business skills and closely introduced to the legal environment for a company reg- istration and operation. Although a smaller component of the whole training, the legal issues attracted high interest among trainees. More trainings or coaching assistance is planned for 2006.
At the end of 2005 and the beginning of 2006, the project will undergo an interim evalua- tion (the initial feedback from clients/trainees is very positive) BUDGET MKD 1,618,439

27 26 u Aim: to offer a model of a whole-school reform actively involving students in cur- ricular and extra-curricular activities, and promote the development of creative and critical thinkers in the Republic of Macedonia.
This project was developed in 2002 in order to help schools, management staff, teachers, students and their parents build better understanding, knowledge, and competences required for the upcoming decentralization of the educational system. Total number of 413 teachers from the 6(+1) third generation High schools and 81 teachers from 15 third generation primary schools participated in the RWCT training cycle, and of 55 advisors from the Bureau for Development in Education were trained in RWCT methodology. Ac- cording to the findings from the Formative evaluation of the Project, the greatest posi- tive change from the application of RWCT strategies felt by teachers and students was the encouragement of greater cooperation among students and increased interest for the program.
A group of 36 directors, pedagogues, psychologists and teachers from the 6(+1) third generation high schools and 81 participants from the 15 third generation primary schools were trained for developing School Improvement plans. By May 2005 all third generation schools successfully developed and wrote their School Improvement plans for the period of 5 years.
Free-time activities for High school students were implemented in partnership with the NGO Youth Educational Forum.

Research Center for Gender Studies The main focus of the RCGS in 2005 was on education, publication and research, pre- dominantly in the area of combating trafficking in human beings. RCGS concentrated on two key aspects of education: development and support of curricula in the area of gender studies; and strengthening the capacities of the university faculty to build cur- ricula in the area of gender studies. A joint body was set up by the University in Sko- pje intended to work on gender/women’s studies curricula development. The working groups assigned by this body conducted a survey on the current state of affairs and provided recommendations for integrating the gender perspective in the curricula of specific disciplinary areas of humanities and social sciences. An outline for postgradu- ate Gender studies was also developed. Regional projects (promoting innovative teach- ing and evaluation methods from a gender perspective) were implemented through the Regional Network for Gender/Women’s Studies in SEE (supported by Network Women’s Program of OSI-New York) and the Regional Seminar in Gender/Women’s Studies and European Studies (supported by the OSI- HESP).
Apart from these activities, RCGS extended the continuous programs: publishing Identi- ties: Journal for Politics, Gender and Culture and organizing the School for Gender and Politics, and alternative educational institution, which, again in year 2005 offered 9 spe- cialized courses to 60 students. The Journal and the School were supported by Kvinna till Kvinna. The year 2005 was marked yet with another publication form the area of oral history.

By means of a pro-active approach, the Program managed to meet the needs of the representatives of the local communities and NGOs that have demonstrated strong will for living together. Instigation of the dialogue in the community, the support of real civic initiatives, and activation of partnerships between citizens, NGOs and local government, pointing out of the successful models of co-habitation were key priorities of this program.
Within the framework of the program, trainings for NGOs and non-formal civic groups were organized in order to build their capacities. The implementation of this three year program was completed in March 2005.
