The NAP does not specify the responsible actor for NAP development, but the Ministry of Labor and Social Policy appears to be an important actor in the NAP\u2019s development. The NAP identifies three overarching objectives: strengthen the gender perspective in the formulation and implementation of the peace, security and defense policy of the Republic of Macedonia; strengthen the participation and contribution of women to international, civilian and military missions in which the Republic of Macedonia takes part; and prevent violence and protect women&#8217;s rights in the time of peace and humanitarian disasters. The NAP does not identify specific actions, indicators, or a monitoring and evaluation framework and does not have an allocated budget.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">North Macedonia reported on the implementation of its NAP, as well as WPS commitments, in its <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unwomen.org\/-\/media\/headquarters\/attachments\/sections\/csw\/64\/national-reviews\/north_macedonia.pdf?la=en&amp;vs=5851\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">national reporting<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for Beijing+25 and in preparation for CSW64 (2020). Specifically, the country indicated the preparation of a revised NAP. Additionally, since 2018, the Ministry of Defense has been implementing the Methodology for Gender Responsive Budgeting and a Gender Budget Statement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">North Macedonia (formerly Macedonia) gained independence from former Yugoslavia in 1991.
