As the project team pilots the methodological approach and the indicators, further policy developments in the coming weeks may shift the status of currently pending reforms.<\/p>\n<p>The Reform Monitor tracks the implementation of selected reform steps from the Reform Agenda. The selected reform steps are organised in so-called \u201c<em>policy domains<\/em>\u201d that fall within the policy areas and sub-areas of the Reform Agendas. These \u201c<em>policy domains<\/em>\u201d are developed following an additional level of reform identification and coding of reform steps by the project team. This approach was chosen to focus on reform steps common across the WB region and to enable regional-level analyses, benchmarking and comparability, given the available human resources and the thematic expertise of the TEN network. For methodological notes and the reform steps selection process see the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/reform-monitor.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Methodological-Note-for-Monitoring-the-Reform-Agendas.pdf\"><strong>draft methodology note<\/strong><\/a><strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This Pilot Reform Agenda Update follows a structure aligned with the Reform Monitor\u2019s methodology, covering: (1) a high-level Executive Summary; (2) procedural compliance under the RGF; (3) reform steps implementation status per policy domain; and (4) narrative and analysis of key progress and challenges. Each section provides a snapshot of progress and obstacles related to North Macedonia\u2019s Reform Agenda implementation.<\/p>\n<p>Please note that the cut-off date for data collection and assessment for this update is\u00a0<strong>30 June 2025.<\/strong>\u00a0Developments occurring after this date are not reflected in this report but will be considered in subsequent updates.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Reform Agenda Update: Pilot Reform Monitor is the first in the series of national monitoring reports within the Reform Monitor project.
