Background    
     
   

The Mission supports the host country in the implementation of the Ohrid Framework Agreement, by inter alia assisting the country in the creation of an effective regulatory and institutional framework in the field of equal treatment and tolerance. In that regard, the Mission supported the Ministry of Labour and Social Policy (MLSP) in the establishment of an Anti- Discrimination Coordinative Body in 2018, and continues to facilitate its work.

In order to support coordination among stakeholders in the area of non-discrimination, the Mission, in cooperation with the Ministry of Labour and Social Policy and the Body, will organise thematic forums and working sessions, and develop resources in line with the Annual Programme of Work of the Body 2018-2020.

The Mission will support the drafting of an analysis on data collection in order to promote equality and prevent discrimination, in line with the standards set forth in the new Law on Prevention and Protection from Discrimination (Article 3 paragraph 4).

The analysis should provide recommendations for improvement, by presenting comparative best practices.

For this purpose, the Mission seeks to engage three (3) National Consultants as part of the project “Advancing Human Rights”
