  2. LESSONS LEARNED Experiences of the IMCND of the Republic of Macedonia and EU Agency EMCDDA

  3. Membership of the European Union is the highest strategic interest and priority for the Government of the Republic of Macedonia, an objective shared by an overwhelming majority of Macedonia’s citizens and all political parties. Macedonia was the first country in South East Europe to sign a Stabilization and Association Agreement with the European Union in 2001 in Luxemburg. Recognizing the progress that Macedonia has made in meeting the Copenhagen criteria, the European Commission recommended granting Macedonia candidate country status for membership in the EU. On 17 December 2005, the European Council decided to grant the Republic of Macedonia official candidate status for EU membership.

  17. EMCDDA–CARDS project Objective 32 of the EU drugs action plan 2005–08 foresees that particular efforts must be made to improve assistance given to applicant countries. On 1 December 2007, the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA) initiated a technical cooperation and assistance project with the Western Balkans countries — comprising Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia — financed by the European Commission’s (CARDS) fund. The aim of the project was to assess the capacity of the Western Balkans countries to establish a drug information system that is compatible with the EMCDDA, and to provide direct support for data collection and reporting. During this first cooperation project with the Western Balkans, the EMCDDA and the Reitox coaches assisted the partner countries in drafting a first Country overview following the European standards.

  18. WE LEARNED: COMPILATIONOF INFORMATION • The central role of networking, multidisciplinary work and care coordination • The use of reliable and valid screening instruments for assessments • What information and/or data exists that is of relevance for the implementation of the action? • International databases (scientific, legislation) • Epidemiology surveys on drug use (patterns, treatment, etc.) • Policy research (evaluation research, etc.) • Registries (e.g. clients in treatment) • Qualitative data e.g. rapid assessment information • Effectiveness/ implementation studies

  19. Action Plan Criteria Ideally Actions are: • Specific (focusing on a specific problem or issue) • Measurable(the progress and outcome must be measurable through objective indicators and assessed with existing verification tools as much as possible) • Acceptable (the priority aims and actions must be in agreement with generally supported principles and contexts in society and in the Strategy) • Realistic (the priority aims and actions can be ambitious, but should be feasible within the given context, resources and timeframe of the Strategy) • Time bound(priority aims need to be reachable in 8 years time, actions in (at maximum) 4 years time)) Have: • Added value (priority aims and actions need to provide an added value to the current situation) Respect: • Proportionality (The scope and consequences of priority aims and actions are proportional compared to the problem they aim to address) Reflect: • Effectiveness & Efficiency (Priority aims and actions are expected to provide best results at the most economic cost) • Knowledge base (Priority aims and actions are based upon evidence)

  20. WE LEARNED: Stakeholder involvement, i.e. in expert committees Stakeholder involvement Stakeholder involvement`` Political decision-making Stakeholder involvement Next cycle  IMCD Action plan Proposal Feedback to IMCD & discussion priorities IMCD focus: coherence & selection Feedback to IMCD & discussion Feedback on compliance (monitoring) Coordination level  Coordination Implementation level  Prioritisation within department and with executive agencies Budgeting & planning by department & executive agencies Implemen-tation by responsible department & agencies Mid-term assessment of compliance with Strategy objectives Monitoring & (external) Evaluation Annual planning process
