5. Participation
Last update: 30 March 2022
In Republic of North Macedonia, there is National Youth Strategy (2016-2025), where one of the nine thematic areas is Youth Participation.
Young people usually participate in consultation processes on the level of defining key challenges they are facing and providing long-term objectives to address the problems. The consultation process specifically for creating of the National Youth Strategy (2016-2025) involved wide variety of youth representatives.
For creation of the first Law on Youth, young people were also consulted for their needs and opinions, but systematic youth participation is still lacking when it comes to local or national youth policies.
