UNFPA’s work aims to further strengthen the capacity for quality data collection, analysis and utilization in policy making and programming around population issues, gender equality and reproductive health, including data in humanitarian settings. A special focus is given to analysis of data on vulnerable populations such as ethnic and sexual minorities, people living with HIV, international and internal migrants, aging, and others. To strengthen the capacity for analysis of population dynamics and inter-linkages and to support policy analysis, UNFPA collaborates with academia and regional institutions active in the population and development field.
UNFPA North Macedonia is working on improved national capacities for population data collection, analysis, dissemination and use, including Census; to identify social and economic inequalities that affect women, adolescents, youth, the elderly and marginalized populations.
