North Macedonia

The International Foundation for Electoral Systems' (IFES) work in Macedonia stems from over a decade of targeted electoral assistance in the Balkans and over two decades of technical specialization on electoral processes and access. The current project in Macedonia aims to enable a better environment for free and fair elections, assisting the State Election Commission in various areas of work. IFES’ work in Macedonia is funded primarily by the U.S. Agency for International Development.
