The Institute for Leadership and Public Policy was founded in 2016 – A time when the country's future seemed uncertain, and the atmosphere was pessimistic.. Our founding team, not satisfied merely to sit idle and wait for the situation to improve, committed to devoting its efforts to identifying and analyzing in depth societal problems in North Macedonia and designing and implementing targeted initiatives to solve our society's most pressing needs. Our first initiative - a youth leadership and public speaking training program - was implemented with no external financial assistance with the help of partners that shared our vision for a thriving society that is accessible to all. Since then, we have collaborated with professionals, the business community, experts in their field, and national and international governments and institutions who share our values, vision, and sense of urgency on a number of impactful projects, targeting youth and women. Our projects have galvanized and helped uplift hundreds of youth and women.
Our initiatives foster an inclusive and equal society, contributing to the country’s EU accession goals. Our mission is to support national institutions and stakeholders by providing credible research and actionable policy recommendations that address the needs and challenges of our target groups. This through research analysis, skill-building courses, leadership development, and knowledge enhancement, aiming at improving quality of two major communities in the society – the one of youth and women striving at a dignifying future for all.
To build a progressive society driven by rapid development, creating abundant domestic opportunities to prevent brain drain. We envision a country where the talents of men and women are equally valued and nurtured, fostering an inclusive and thriving future for all.
