UNDP North Macedonia: A new way forward

  • October 28, 2021
  • STRATEGIC INNOVATION

We are living in an age of long, interlinked emergencies that cannot be adequately addressed unless nations and governments can look beyond the horizon of the next electoral or budgetary cycle. In this video, produced in collaboration with Dark Matter Labs, UNDP North Macedonia is considering a new framework for human, machine and ecological transition at a national scale — the principles behind UNDP’s support for the drafting of North Macedonia’s 2021-2041 National Development Strategy (NDS).

The Government of North Macedonia started the preparations for the development of its 2021-2041 NDS in early 2021, supported by the UNDP in coordination with the North Macedonia RCO and with UK GGF funding. Within this project, UNDP North Macedonia has been working with Dark Matter Labs to develop a new national strategy to deal with transition, in line with the 2030 Agenda and national development and strategic priorities.

This video reflects our investigation into new and innovative ways to support the development of the methodology for a national development strategy in North Macedonia by re-imagining statecraft for an age in which we see the nation as a system. From climate change to pandemics, the video elaborates on how nations can build the capabilities to deal with the long-term and cascading global challenges of the next twenty years.

The video premiered during the Joint EU-UNDP Partner Forum on Embracing Complexity & System Innovation held on 28 October 2021
