On September 14 and 15, 2026, a "Basic Training on Gender Analysis" for central-level civil servants was successfully held at the Resource Center for Gender-Responsive Policy-Making and Budgeting in Skopje.

During the two-day training, participants were introduced to the fundamental concepts and tools of gender analysis, the importance of gender-disaggregated statistical data, and their application in policy-making processes. Special attention was paid to gender-sensitive sectoral policies, intersectionality, and identifying the distinct needs, opportunities, and barriers faced by women and men. The training also covered the role of civil society organizations in gender analysis processes, as well as the importance of cooperation between institutions and civil society in advancing gender equality.

The training was organized by the Unit for Gender-Responsive Policies and Gender-Responsive Budgeting within the Sector for Equal Opportunities (Ministry of Labor and Social Policy), with support from the European Union-funded project "Technical Assistance to Improve the Enabling Environment for Civil Society Organizations in the Republic of North Macedonia."
