This report assesses the credibility, efficiency, and effectiveness of the gender-responsive
budget (GRB) planning and execution in N. Macedonia for 2024, examining both the
central and local government levels. Using mixed methods—desk research, analysis of
the Final Account of the Budget, gender budget statements, and interviews with line
ministries and municipal equal opportunity coordinators—the analysis tracks planned

gender equality commitments.
