Тhe National Democratic Institute (NDI) is conducting an empowerment program in North Macedonia, known as #WoMenLead, to lower the individual, socio-cultural and institutional barriers to women’s political participation in the country. The program is funded by Sweden through the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA) and its aims are to improve gender equality in political parties, provide women candidates with both the skills and supportive environment to campaign successfully for local level representation, and to reduce violence against women in politics.
