Gender Equality Index for North Macedonia

Gender equality is a key priority and commitment of the Republic of North Macedonia. The establishment of an efficient legal and institutional system for the promotion of gender equality is an indispensable part of the European Union integration process and one of its fundamental values. In this regard, significant steps have been taken to improve coordination among
institutions, strengthen institutions’ capacities and establish mechanisms for continuous monitoring of progress towards the achievement of gender equality goals.

To ensure that policies and measures for the promotion of gender equality are effective, it is necessary to continuously monitor their impact on different groups of citizens.

The Gender Equality Index is a tool for measuring the progress of gender equality in EU countries and EU candidate countries. This tool was developed by the European Institute for Gender Equality based in Vilnius Lithuania.

The Gender Equality Index ensures greater visibility of the areas where improvement is needed to create better and more effective measures for the promotion of gender equality.
