Our Joint Programmes

Enhancing Inter-Ethnic Community Dialogue and Collaboration in FYR Macedonia
Inter-ethnic community cohesion and dialogue are central to the development of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, which has faced social, political and economic challenges since its independence in 1991, including an inter-ethnic conflict in 2001. The Joint Programme worked to promote a multi-cultural civic identity within the country, establishing systems to link local and national mechanisms dealing with inter-ethnic relations and building conflict resolution expertise.
