Short description
(German)
This clarification study proposes a new programme for the democratic governance and decentralization domain in Macedonia. The theme and its strategy is both a recognition of the serious macroeconomic context and a realistic approach for helping municipalities cope with austerity and also move forward in development. The economic and fiscal challenges facing Macedonia are immense and could easily diffuse the impact of a foreign assistance programme if it is not properly focused. The proposed three-track program will promote coherence and focus while limiting risk. The focus of the programme is municipalities—fully establishing the basics of PFM (track 1); providing much needed grant funded operational and investment support targeted selectively between high and limited capacity municipalities (track 2); and building on its long advocacy work to promote deepening of decentralization—greater devolution— which is needed to better manage the resource scarcity of austerity (track 3).
