Rocks in Veles Stabilized as Part of Disaster Risk Reduction Programme

When a large rock fell from the hills of Veles damaging a historic church, the local authorities in the city of Veles knew they had to take urgent measures to prevent this from happening again.

Energy Efficiency Begins at the Kindergarten!

The kindergarten Srnicka-Kalinka in the municipality of Aerodrom, is now officially the first ever energy efficient kindergarten in the country. Just by introducing simple energy efficiency measures, the energy costs of any public building could be reduced by at least 20 per cent. The savings could be invested in other activities that would improve the well-being of ordinary citizens.

The first draft watershed management plan for the Prespa region, fully in line with the EU Water Framework Directive, offers guidance for directing future investments in the Prespa water sector.

“The Future Today” Appeals for New, Happier Beginnings

Gjulfidan, Rabija, Fatima, and some other fifty Roma women from the Gazi Baba Municipality in Skopje could not hide their feelings while watching the new documentary on domestic violence, “The Future Today”. “It portrays our reality” they say in a chorus.

New Report on the Economic Impacts of Climate Change

The study investigates three major sectors: energy demand, water resources related to electricity production and agriculture. Case studies are used in each sector to indicate the trend of economic impacts of climate change. In doing so, the study intends to pave the way for more in-depth examinations of climate change that will be able to link the physical impacts of climate change to economic impacts. Having a better idea of the economic impacts will make it possible to then better assess options for becoming more climate-resilient.

UNDP helps people build better lives. As the country looks towards the European Union, we support the government to build an inclusive society--where everyone has access to services and can participate in making decisions that affect their lives. With an eye on a sustainable future, we also help the nation to meet longstanding and emerging environmental challenges. Our support involves developing human and institutional capacities, providing knowledge, demonstrating solutions, building partnerships, and raising funds for development.

Area of Work

Good Governance
As the government devolves powers to local authorities, UNDP strengthens institutions and develops the skills of public administrators to design policies and deliver better services for all. UNDP also promotes citizen participation in decision making to increase responsiveness and accountability in Governance.

Social Inclusion
UNDP supports national efforts that improve the social and economic standing of individuals and groups at risk of exclusion. We provide knowledge for inclusive policymaking and reforms; we develop national capacities to expand employment opportunities and access to services for all.

Energy and Environment
By demonstrating what is possible on the ground, UNDP helps decision makers to incorporate action against pollution, biodiversity loss, and climate change into the work of their institutions. Investing today promotes people’s health, food security, and quality of life but could also deliver financial benefits in the future, so UNDP also helps explore options such as sustainable tourism development.
