La República de Macedonia del Norte es un Estado multiétnico con una población estimada de alrededor de dos millones de personas. Tras una temprana transición a la economía de mercado, Macedonia del Norte logró un progreso visible en desarrollo económico y social. El país se convirtió rápidamente en uno de los principales candidatos a la integración euroatlántica entre los Estados de los Balcanes Occidentales, pero aún debe implementar reformas para reforzar la gobernanza democrática, promover el desarrollo económico inclusivo y abordar cuestiones medioambientales críticas.

Gobernanza democrática
En el ámbito de la gobernanza democrática, el programa de cooperación suiza en Macedonia del Norte busca desarrollar la capacidad democrática de las instituciones ejecutivas y legislativas y empoderar a la sociedad civil. El apoyo de Suiza está ayudando a las autoridades centrales y locales a ser más responsables, transparentes e inclusivas. Suiza sigue trabajando por fomentar la participación ciudadana en la toma de decisiones a nivel local y regional.
Reformas del Estado y de la economía
Desarrollo económico sostenible
El apoyo de Suiza en el sector económico va dirigido a mejorar las perspectivas de empleo y crear un crecimiento económico sostenible. Ayuda a los demandantes de empleo a acceder al mercado laboral mediante programas de formación y capacitación profesional orientados a las necesidades del mercado. Al mismo tiempo, promueve el desarrollo del sector privado, en particular de las empresas de nueva creación, con el fin de mejorar el acceso a nuevos mercados y a cadenas de valor que generen mayores ingresos. Suiza también participa activamente en los esfuerzos por mejorar las condiciones de empleo, alentando a los empleadores a ofrecer puestos de trabajo dignos e inclusivos.
Desarrollo del sector privado y servicios financieros
Medio ambiente y servicios públicos sostenibles
Los recursos naturales y la riqueza en biodiversidad del país se consideran un factor importante para su desarrollo. Mediante asistencia técnica e inversión catalizadora en transformación digital y en infraestructura y equipamiento resilientes al clima y con bajas emisiones de carbono, Suiza posibilita a determinados municipios y a sus servicios públicos ofrecer a los ciudadanos servicios públicos de alta calidad, fiables y eficientes.
Unos servicios públicos sostenibles, una mejor gestión de los recursos naturales y una mayor resiliencia de las comunidades frente a los desastres naturales aumentarán el atractivo y la competitividad de las zonas urbanas y rurales, y contribuirán al crecimiento económico sostenido y a la mejora de la calidad de vida.

Strengthening regional cooperation on migration in the Western Balkans
01.06.2025
- 31.12.2027
In light of diversifying migration patterns and challenges with increasing regional dimensions, the migration policy priorities of Western Balkan governments are changing and the relevance of regional dialogue, coordination and cooperation is growing. This proposal seeks to promote coherent and effective regional governance of migration in all its multifaceted dimensions contributing to greater social cohesion and regional integration in the Western Balkans.
Planned project
Parliament Support Programme (PSP) in Macedonia
01.09.2023
- 31.12.2029
The Assembly (national parliament) will be supported in order to more effectively safeguard citizen interest and engage in consensus-oriented and inclusive debate. Over the past years the executive has built a dominant role vis-a-vis parliament resulting in ineffective oversight, limited debate on legislation, and little interaction with civil society. With the change of government in April 2017, a new momentum to address these topics has formed. Switzerland can offer its 10+ years record in supporting the Assembly.
Planned project
Support to Electoral Reforms in Macedonia
01.07.2023
- 30.06.2029
Election related institutions are strengthened to conduct election processes free of violence and intimidation. In addition, political parties are supported to apply a more citizen centred approach in developing their election programmes. Ultimately, better informed citizens are empowered to demand accountability from elected officials which increases legitimacy of the state institutions, thus they become more open and citizen oriented in the creation of policies.
Planned project
Creating Job Opportunities for All in Macedonia
01.11.2022
- 31.12.2028
This project will facilitate employment for vulnerable groups, by introducing appropriate active labour market measures, improving the capacities of responsible stakeholders to coordinate employment measures, and sensitizing and incentivising the private sector. lt contributes to ease the risk of vulnerable groups to fall into poverty, and enhances their social inclusion. Roma and people with disabilities are the main target group as they are disproportionally affected by high unemployment in Macedonia.
Intelligence Sector Reform Programme
01.04.2021
- 31.03.2026
The aim is to build the capacity of members of intelligence services, as well as relevant oversight and control bodies to ensure that surveillance measures by intelligence services in Macedonia are conducted in accordance with international standards of accountability and respect for human rights. To achieve this, the project will train and provide expertise to members of intelligence services, relevant parliamentary oversight committees and the judiciary, and will support the review and redrafting of relevant laws and regulations.
Increasing Market Employability
01.08.2019
- 31.12.2023
North Macedonia’s economy is characterised by one of the highest unemployment rate in Europe (21%, for youth 46%) and a high share of people in relative poverty (22%). The Increasing Market Employability programme aims to address these issues by creating jobs and increasing income. It contributes to improvement of the quality of products and services, expansion of markets, and creation of an enabling environment in the Sustainable Agribusiness, Adventure Tourism, and Information and Communications Technology (ICT) sectors.
Housing solutions for displaced persons
01.03.2019
- 31.12.2022
As a consequence of the war in the 1990s, over three million people were displaced both within and beyond the borders of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), Croatia, Montenegro and Serbia. Twenty-five years after the Dayton Accords, the Western Balkans are still host to almost half a million vulnerable persons displaced by conflict in the former Yugoslavia. The Regional Housing Programme (RHP) aims to provide durable housing solutions for refugees and internally displaced persons in need.

Towards Transparent, Inclusive and Accountable Governance in the Republic of Macedonia
15.07.2018
- 30.06.2022
The project aims at increasing gender equality in Macedonia and the quality of life for women and vulnerable groups by 1) systematically integrating a gender perspective in public policies and budgets which leads to the allocation of more funds for greater gender equality in strategies and policies; 2) empowering women and vulnerable groups to advocate for their needs in municipal planning and budgeting; and 3) supporting CSOs and Members of Parliament in overseeing the implementation of gender responsive policies and initiatives.
Parliament Support Programme (PSP)
01.11.2017

Creating Job Opportunities for All in Macedonia
01.07.2017

This project will facilitate employment for vulnerable groups, by introducing appropriate active labour market measures, improving the capacities of responsible stakeholders to coordinate employment measures, and sensitizing and incentivising the private sector. lt contributes to ease the risk of vulnerable groups to fall into poverty, and enhances their social inclusion.

Vocational Skills Development in Macedonia
01.09.2016
- 28.02.2022
Macedonia has one of the highest unemployment rates in Europe (25%), especially among youth (48%). One of the key factors for youth unemployment is that the education and training system does not provide skills needed by the economy. The Vocational Skills Development project aims to address youth unemployment through supporting market relevant skills development by strengthening the engagement of the private sector (e.g. through systematised internships), thus increasing the employability of vocational training graduates.
