Network 23: Summaries of studies by grantees

The main aim of the “Network 23” project, implemented by the European Policy Institute — Skopje, the Helsinki Committee for Human Rights of the Republic of Macedonia and the Center for Change Management, is to provide a structured contribution by civil society to the monitoring and evaluation of the policies encompassed by Chapter 23 — Judiciary and Fundamental Rights. Ten grants were awarded through the project, in a transparent fashion, to other civil society organizations that carried out surveys and other activities as a contribution to the effective monitoring and evaluation of policies informed by Chapter 23 of the EU accession process. As a final product of such research, public policy documents were produced, with recommendations on overcoming the problems identified. Their findings are incorporated into the analysis of issues from Chapter 23 “Judiciary and fundamental rights in the Republic of Macedonia”, as a first shadow report of Macedonian civil society organizations, regarding the situations of the areas covered by this chapter. The summaries of public policy documents are attached.
