Enlargement Process Monitoring

About the project

CRPM is established to Europeanize Macedonia and the region. Through our work we promote European values; as well as promote the regional best practices in Europe and the world. We have organized debates and conference with an ail to generate the WB perspective on certain EU relevant issues, or the impact certain EU policy might have on Western Balkans, or how societies in the region can benefit from certain EU reform process. “Probably the key factor for the dynamic development of think tanks in the CEE region in the late 1990s and since 2000 has been the accession anchor- demand for external advice increased as the national governments had limited capacity to analyze and disseminate the European issues.”( Kucharczyk and Kazmierkiewicz, 2007) With the new methodology and the ongoing geopolitical restructuring in the EU, the EU integration of the Western Balkans will receive an important push making the work of CRPM even more relevant. The following shows in which areas of expertise CRPM has so far engaged.

Impact assessments 

The organization provided impact assessment of the project ‘Scholarship, mentoring and tutoring for secondary Roma students’ in order to improve the retention and achievement rate of all Roma students enrolled in secondary school. The assessment focused on the 2009- 2011 school years with regards to the project efficiency, effectiveness and impact and resulted with specific recommendations for each stakeholder in particular on how to improve the future setup and implementation of the project activities.

The first gender impact assessment was also conducted by CRPM in collaboration with UN Women aiming to: (i) invigorate discussion that led to ensuring policy support to the reform of the primary health services and establishment of community based care services that will mitigate the risk of increasing use of unpaid care performed by female family members; (ii) community based home care services policy model developed and functional in 5 municipalities based on analysis of the situation, factors and stakeholders as well as assess the financial implication of the establishment of such services on municipal level.
