This partnership created the legal framework for an open, transparent, and vibrant energy market in line with the principles of competition and non-discrimination, better energy services to households and industry, and integration with regional energy markets.
The USAID Economic Development, Governance and Enterprise Growth (EDGE) project, is helping small businesses like Soko Gorica to grow, promoting capacity building and sustainability through training and technical assistance. Through this work EDGE is addressing key foreign policy priorities in the region by enhancing economic integration with the EU and the West.
Since North Macedonia’s independence in 1991, the United States has supported the country’s goal to:
Become a prosperous, stable, and inclusive democracy whose future is firmly embedded in Euro-Atlantic institutions
Under the 2020-2025 North Macedonia Country Development Cooperation Strategy, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is fully committed to continue supporting the country to achieve this goal as our newest NATO ally.
