Participation in the WB Reform and Growth Monitor Workshop in Tirana

📍 From 1 to 3 July, we participated in the regional workshop for grant recipients under the WB Reform and Growth Monitor project, held in Tirana, Albania. The workshop brought together organisations from across the Western Balkans that will monitor reforms related to the Growth Plan and the European Union accession process.

This also marked the official launch of our new project, “Economic Reform Meter: Monitoring Economic Reforms for Convergence with the EU.”

Under the project, we will monitor the implementation of key economic reforms in North Macedonia, with a particular focus on commitments under the Reform Agenda.

The project is implemented within the regional WB Reform and Growth Monitor initiative, led by the TEN – Think for Europe Network and Transparency International Bosnia and Herzegovina, with support from the European Union (European Commission).
