To achieve these objectives, the project will streamline anti-corruption recommendations into political parties&#8217; election programs, conduct advocacy sessions with political parties to incorporate robust anti-corruption commitments into their manifestos, build the anti-corruption capacities of the new leadership generation through training sessions, and engage in pre-election podcast conversations with political parties to scrutinize their proposed anti-corruption measures.<\/p>\n<p>By facilitating policy dialogues among political parties, their youth organizations, parliament members, and civil society, the project aims to accomplish three specific objectives:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Enhancing the anti-corruption commitments of political parties within their electoral agendas, laying the foundation for evidence-based reforms and fostering broader consensus on the necessary priorities and actions to combat corruption effectively.<\/li>\n<li>Strengthening the capacities of the Parliament of North Macedonia, particularly its members, to actively engage in oversight and contribute significantly to evaluating and formulating the National Anti-Corruption Strategy.<\/li>\n<li>Mobilizing public support for specific evidence-based anti-corruption commitments, exerting pressure on politicians and officials to implement comprehensive policies and measures. This objective is critical in decreasing political parties&#8217; negative potential role in anti-corruption and identifying and supporting champions.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Duration:\u00a0<\/strong>October, 2023 \u2013 September, 2025<\/p>\n<p><strong>Approved funds<\/strong>:\u00a0100.500
