Regular annual shadow report on the state of public procurement in Northern Macedonia.

The Center for Civil Communications has been conducting ad hoc monitoring of COVID-19 related public procurement since the crisis began in March 2020, publishing regular reports with findings and recommendations.

Following the three reports from the ad-hoc monitoring of COVID-91 related public procurement and the summary monitoring report, in November 2020 this public policy document was prepared entitled: "Public procurement in North Macedonia at times of corona: How it was and what can be done in the future?", which covers COVID-19 related procurement, government policies related to these procurements, as well as recommendations for measures to be taken in the future as a result of the experience in 2020.

From the first day when the new Law on Free Access to Public Information was enforced, the Center for Civil Communication engaged in monitoring the law’s implementation track record, on the basis of information requests submitted to institutions for disclosure of information relevant for its various research endeavours.

In the period 1 December 2019 - 31 May 2020, i.e. in the first six months of the new law’s implementation, the Center for Civil Communications submitted a total of 460 information requests to different institutions. Analysis of the new law’s implementation is conducted on the basis of responses to these information requests and institutions’ attitude towards them.

The analysis also addresses the effects of COVID-19 crisis on the exercise of the right to free access to public information.
