Civic counselling centres

The program “Civic counseling centres” for improving the socio-economic situation of the marginalized groups in the Republic of Macedonia, especially the Roma population, as well as better informing and strengthening citizens’ awareness of realizing their rights, should create an objective basis for influence on the authorities; contribution to overcoming the prejudices and negative stereotypization related to the marginalized groups in the Republic of Macedonia; creating educational personnel within the Roma population itself, which will produce conditions for the Roma and other citizens to be able to identify, manifest and ask for protection of their rights etc.

The program is being implemented by HDZR Mesechina, financially supported by MCIC and OSIMF. It is being focused on the whole territory of the Republic of Macedonia, but the main activities and counseling centers for citizens’ rights will be formed in: Skopje, Kumanovo, Delchevo, Shtip, Prilep and a central office in Gostivar. The centers will serve for collecting and distributing information related to citizens’ rights, recording cases of their violating or disobeying, processing documented cases to the bodies which will be formed within the Program, for further processing and sending to the authorities.
