The OSCE Spillover Monitor Mission to Skopje and the Union of Women’s Organizations of Macedonia recently organized a Gender Action Planning Workshop. This forum, attended by the Ministry of Labour, the Social Policy’s Unit for Promoting Gender Equality and 10 mayors, facilitated the public launching of an OSCE-sponsored project aimed at enhancing the capacities, mandates and profiles of the 10 Gender Equality Commissions (GEC). These Commissions, which serve to address local gender related issues, will inform policy making and help implement the National Action Plan for Gender Equality.
