The first network of civil society organizations in North Macedonia was established in early 2024 through the efforts of the European Association for Local Democracy - ALDA Skopje. The national network aims to maintain a well-balanced and diversified profile of the Macedonian civil society sector, covering various fields, to ensure complementarity, promote mutual understanding, and encourage participatory approaches.

The network's primary goal is to promote good governance and citizen participation at the local level in North Macedonia and the wider Western Balkans region. To achieve these objectives, the network's coordinator and its members are committed to adopting strategies that encourage a hands-on approach and facilitate peer-to-peer knowledge transfer activities. These initiatives aim to maximize the engagement of network members and make the most of their capacities and areas of expertise.
