Openness of the executive branch of power of RNM for 2020

With the support of USAID’s Civic Engagement Project and the National Endowment for Democracy, the Metamorphosis Foundation, in collaboration with partners from the Regional Network of NGOs – Accountability, Technology and Institutional Openness of South East Europe (ACTION SEE), prepared an evaluation of the state of good governance of the assemblies and executive branches of the central governments of the four Western Balkan countries – North Macedonia, Serbia, Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The assessment is the result of a comprehensive empirical survey based on the Openness Index, which aims to determine the extent to which the principles of good governance in the region are respected.

As the visualization shows, the survey on the openness of the executive branch of power in the Republic of North Macedonia revealed that only 31% of the ministries and 12% of the executive bodies provide a direct channel for communication on their websites.

The visualization has been prepared in Macedonian, Albanian and English.

The entire evaluation is available at the following link.
