Works were implemented under difficult circumstances considering the harsh conditions at the locations of the monitoring stations, and the need to deal with sensitives stemming from the perceptions of the local communities on the monitoring stations. - The Programme developed detailed requirements for a comprehensive study to improve overall preparedness to floods and other related geohazards in the entire Polog region. The study was launched in the reporting period and the expert team was contracted in August. Outcome 3: - Shipkovica torrent design is under preparation - Sediment study under preparation - Energy efficient measure implemented in Bogovinje and Tetovo Outcome 4: - National-level flood risk mitigation strategy outlined Outcome 5: - Since one of the main objectives of the project is the continuous capacity building of responsible personnel, the Programme continued networking and transfer of knowledge throughout all its components. For example, in order to make best use of experiences so far in the Polog and Southeast planning regions in DRR, the Programme is facilitating exchange between two UNDP-implemented projects (the Polog project funded by the Government of Switzerland and SEE Urban project funded by the EU). The focus on the exchange are the opportunities provided by inter-municipal cooperation in the context of DRR at local level. - Important international/Swiss experience is already being transferred to key beneficiaries through different consultancies and in the course of the stakeholder events (e.g., by the International Technical Adviser, and urban river flooding management experts from Switzerland).

Outcome 1: 1.1 Flood risk mitigation actions / investments taken by responsible institutions are informed and coordinated by the Flood Risk Management Plan for the Upper Vardar River Basin / Polog Region 1.2 Percentage of 3% of increase in public expenditures of total municipal budget for DRR/flood risk mitigation actions across the Basin Outcome 3: 3.1 Number of persons (M/F, vulnerable groups, urban/rural communities) benefitting from locally implemented DRR measures Outcome 4: 4.2 XX % (tbd in 2020) of increase of number and value of flood risk mitigation investments 4.3 Financing mechanisms for flood risk mitigation in place and XX% of increase in market penetration of food insurance products (tbd 2020) Outcome 5: 5.1 Number of targeted stakeholders/population aware of the contemporary flood risk management/DRR options and approaches 5.2 Number of replications of concepts /models prototyped by the project in the country and/or in the region Outcome 1: 1.1 Currently there is no integrated planning base for flood risk management in the Polog Region/Upper Vardar River Basin. Municipalities and national level institutions take individual, ad-hoc actions to control floods without consideration of changes in the risk to other communities. 1.2 There is no consistent long-term public financing of flood risk mitigation actions (only ad-hoc responses to disastrous events). Outcome 3: 3.1 To be defined (2020) Outcome 4: 4.2 Uncoordinated and uninformed investments in flood risk mitigation (to be defined in 2019) due to the lack of national-level strategy and action plan 4.3 Inefficient risk financing mechanisms and limited penetration of insurance product on the market Outcome 5: 5.1 There is limited knowledge among key personnel of the institutions charged with flood risk management/DRR responsibilities 5.2 Only very limited number of projects in the country are aligned with the contemporary principles of DRR and flood risk management Outcome 1: • Preparation of the feasibility study on Basin-Scale Sediment Management Options for the Polog Region • Facilitation of the process of establishment of the Joint Administrative Unit of the Polog region for Floods Risks Management and Environmental Protection • Support to mainstreaming DRR and urban resilience building priorities in the City of Tetovo GUP • Finalization of a consolidated national-level methodology for developing municipal flood management plans • Update of nine municipal flood management plans in line with the objectives of Upper Vardar River Basin’s FRMP Outcome 3: • Development (or update) of design documentation for urban river management (Vardar, Gostivar; Vardar, Jegunovce, Bogovinjska River) • Launching of the urban runoff management study for Tetovo and Gostivar • Implementation of flood proofing options and green roofs for selected set of public buildings. Outcome 4: • Finalization of the comprehensive gap analysis for risk finance/risk transfer mechanisms • Initiation of policy dialogue on risk finance and risk transfer mechanisms Outcome 5: • Identification of opportunities for building partnerships between Swiss and Macedonian institutions on issues relevant to flood risk management/DRR Outcome 1: - FRMP identified the most critical river sections in the basin when it comes to flood risk for which there are limited management options (e.g., limitations imposed by urbanization in the floodplains/river corridors). These interventions are considered the highest priority for the authorities having in mind the magnitude of existing risks. At the same time, these are among the most investment-heavy measures. For part of these interventions, municipalities have already prepared detailed technical documentation and completed permitting procedures. Local co-funding is also available awaiting Programme’s findings on the adequacy of existing documentation and conceptualization for any new or improvement of any new river engineering designs. Outcome 3: - Following the assessment of the river floods mitigation priorities (a Swiss expertise-supported process), the Programme developed comprehensive design guidelines (ToRs) and initiated the contracting of design engineers for three critical river sections: upper Vardar River (two sections, one in the Municipality of Gostivar and another in the Municipality of Jegunovce) and Bogovinjska River (Municipality of Bogovinje). - The Project launched the urban runoff management study for Tetovo and Gostivar. As part of this study, the Programme will identify the critical infrastructure located in the high-risk zones along the main analyzed water courses. Such critical infrastructure (e.g., hospitals, schools, factories) is especially present in the two major urban centers of the region – Tetovo and Gostivar. Considering the current and likely future levels of protection in these flood risk zones, the Programme will design and implement flood proofing options for selected set of public buildings. This will be one of the Programme’s priorities in the upcoming months. - The Programme has facilitated a process of selection of public buildings for providing them with green roofs as one of the urban resilience building options. This activity targeted the densest urban centers Tetovo and Gostivar, as major urban sites and most dense area in the region, where other possibilities for retaining water and preventing urban flooding are limited. The first demonstration green roof was built on a school in Gostivar. All works were completed, and the intervention was co-funded by the municipality in amount of Approximately USD 107,000 - Considering the improved understanding of potential of green infrastructure (or combination of green and grey infrastructure) for urban runoff management among key stakeholders, the Programme conceptualized work necessary to develop management options for the densest urban parts of the cities of Tetovo and Gostivar. Outcome 4: - The purpose of Programme activities under this Output is to strategize future risk mitigation investments through increased public expenditures in flood prevention, justifying a cost-effective use of increasingly scarce financial resources. Moreover, on the basis of the comprehensive flood risk assessments, and understanding mitigation potentials and limitations (i.e. residual risk), the Programme will consider a full range possible financial mechanisms for flood prevention, post-disaster response and risk transfer, aiming to improve the overall ability of institutions, businesses and communities to respond more resiliently to disastrous flood events in future. The Programme has continued its communication with the authorities, and financial institutions on introducing different financing instruments to improve risk management. The cooperation with the Ministry of Finance and the Insurance Supervision Agency is promising and opens possibility for significant positive influence on the financing side of DRR. To support these processes, the Programme is benefiting from the support of an international risk finance/transfer expert providing advisory services aiming at: a) conducting a comprehensive gap analysis targeting existing financial capacities and instruments vis-à-vis the actual needs based on the improved knowledge about country’s overall flood risk situation; b) outlining a roadmap for implementation of risk financing and risk transfer component of the Programme that will help position it optimally to utilize the momentum and fit to other ongoing and planned changes in the risk finance/transfer area. Output 5: - Important international/Swiss experience is already being transferred to key beneficiaries through different consultancies and in the course of the stakeholder events (e.g., by the International Technical Adviser, and urban river flooding management experts from Switzerland). Outcome 1: - Finalization and completion of the feasibility study on basin-scale sediment management options including through provision of conceptual designs for the identified priority locations - Continuous update of the Finalization and completion of the feasibility study on basin-scale sediment management options including through provision of conceptual designs for the identified priority locations - Continuous update of the FRMP with findings and suggestions from different detailed studies - Progress in the process of establishment of the joint administrative unit for DRR in the Polog region with findings and suggestions from different detailed studies Outcome 3: - Based on Swiss experience and expertise, develop design documentation to implement state-of-the-art flood risk mitigation measures to address urban river flooding in Bogovinjska river - Develop design documentation to address urban river flooding based in Vardar river in Gostivar and Jegunovce - Implement flood protection measures in Sipkovica village in municipality of Tetovo - Identification of buildings/structures and development of necessary technical documentation for demonstration of urban resilience initiatives (e.g. building permeable parking lots, flood proofing of critical infrastructure in high risk zones, stabilization of important landslides, improving discharge capacity of selected critical bridges) followed by implementation of selected demonstration projects - Support the implementation of the feasibility study on urban runoff management for the cities of Tetovo and Gostivar Outcome 4: - Initiation and facilitation of the national/regional/local-level policy dialog process - Conceptualization of the future programme support to key institutions to improve risk financing/risk transfer mechanisms Outcome 5: Continuation of knowledge and skills development of key institutions through different involvement of relevant staff in different programme activities Outcome 1: The most significant studies launched by the Programme is the Feasibility study on basin-scale sediment management options for the Upper Vardar River Basin. The study analyzes possible sources of sediments (e.g. linear erosion processes, landslides), by combining relevant complementary methodologies and models and developing event-based scenarios with different probabilities. The aim is to identify the risks and to prioritize areas where sediment sources/processes need to be addressed and managed in a way to mitigate risks to acceptable levels. The study was completed and distributed in May. For the first time in the country, the analyses have applied the InSAR (Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) methodology which provide a better understanding of the longer-term landscape/soil layer movements which may result in different hazardous situations (e.g., landslides, rockfalls). Considering the scale of potential threats from flooding and sediment transport processes at these several locations, the sediment management study identified 15-20 prioritized locations in total. Hazard and risk maps were produced, providing categorization of most important sediment sources in the Polog basin, and “relative” risk ranking, recommendations for erosion control and soil stabilization measures, suggested measures for the watersheds and has made selection of landslides for preparation of conceptual designs as final stage of the study. As identified at the first stage of the preparation, the Study confirmed the need for priority interventions in the village of Shipkovica, mitigation of river flooding in Bogovinjska River; mitigation of flood risks in Pena River; management sediment transport processes in Poroj River. 2. Activities for updating the Flood Risk Management Plan (FRMP) through interrelated research and feasibility assessments continued to enrich the existing planning base. The existing FRMP has served as a good basis for all the ongoing programme-backed research and studies (e.g., sediment management study, preparedness study, preparation of designs for critical riverbeds). Such approach was selected in order to ensure that FRMP remains the most important planning document for future flood risk mitigation interventions, and DRR priorities as part of the Basin’s development plans. First update of the FRMP is planned for end of 2021 when the consultant will incorporate all prepared studies and designs in the plan. The most substantial update is anticipated toward the end of the Programme that will set the risk mitigation and resilience building priorities for the upcoming years. 3. Network for resilient Polog In the reporting period, the project has continued to facilitate the frequent and closer cooperation between all municipalities in the region through supporting the operations of activities of the Network for Resilient Polog. Within this effort, three network meetings were organized in 2021. The Polog region or specifically Tetovo and Gostivar were heavily affected by COVID 19 outbreak so two out of three meetings were held online, while the one which take place in July was organized face-to-face in Tetovo. At the last meeting in Tetovo, the draft concept for the Early Warning System, as part of the Preparedness Study, was presented and discussed with the network members. It should be noted that most of the network members prefer to have the meeting in life instead on-line so if the epidemiological situation improves, next meeting that is planned to happen after the local elections, shall be organized face-to-face. A more concrete activities towards formalization of the inter-municipal body are scheduled for the following reporting period, but the upcoming local election might delay the planned activities. Outcome 3: 1. Bogovinjska River in total 1,2 km Bogovinska river is one of the Upper Vardar River Basin watercourses with high risk from flooding. The Feasibility study and the proposed solution for intervention for Bogovinjska river was prepared in 2020 and the basic design was completed in this reporting period. The procedure for approvals of Urban Plans for infrastructure started in June and is expected to be finalized in September. Bogovinjska River project will be advertised for selection of contractor in September and the construction works are expected to start in November 2021. 2. Upper Vardar River in the Municipality of Gostivar and Jegunovce - Upper Vardar River in the Municipality of Gostivar The only regulated section of the Vardar river in the Municipality of Gostivar is the one within the City of Gostivar. It was constructed in 1970 and has length of some 6 kilometers. Downstream from the railway bridge in the City of Gostivar the riverbed is unregulated, causing frequent floods (almost every year) on the settlements and the agricultural land, while the main reason for overflowing is the narrowing of the natural river corridor with various infrastructural structures and of the deposited solid waste in the riverbed. The Feasibility study for this part of Upper Vardar is prepared and the best optional solution confirmed by the International consultant from Switzerland. The basic design is prepared and is in process of revision. It is expected that the basic design will be completed by December 2021. - Upper Vardar River in the Municipality of Jegunovce The Vardar river in Jagunovce has frequently overflowed in the area between villages of Tudence and Jegunovce, causing damages to populated areas and agricultural land. The project of adjusting the technical documentation for this section with length of about 7 kilometers, was commenced in 2020. The Feasibility study for this part of Upper Vardar is prepared and the best optional solution confirmed by the International consultant from Switzerland. The basic design is prepared and is in process of revision. It is expected that the basic design will be completed by December 2021. 3. Torrent Sipkovica covering 17ha The Shipkovica torrent is one the most notorious ones in the region, since during the not-so-distant floods, beside the considerable economic damage made, the flood proved to be lethal for the locals. In general, the regulation of the Shipkovica torrent activity addresses the area of the torrent length of some 3,6 kilometers, with a special emphasis on the 350-meters-long section of the torrent that runs thru the very village. The Sipkovica project is in advanced stage, the selection of contractor is completed, and the construction works is expected to start end of September i.e. once the Municipality of Tetovo issues a construction permit. Co-financing in 49% of the value of the construction works is provided by the Ministry of Environment, and the Cost Shearing Agreement signed. 4. The urban runoff management studies for Tetovo and Gostivar are completed, and the critical infrastructure located in the high-risk zones along the main water courses are identified. Such critical infrastructure (e.g., hospitals, schools, factories) is especially present in the two major urban centers of the region – Tetovo and Gostivar. 5. Presentation of the run-off studies in both Tetovo and Gostivar were conducted in June, and the feedback from the Municipalities is expecting in the next period. The two most critical interventions were identified at the hospitals and the Programme requested a thorough Scope of Work to be prepared for designing. As the Hospitals are part of the Tertial Health System in the country, the Ministry of Health will be approached to come to an agreement on the interventions needed. The Terms of reference for designing the interventions are in process of preparation. 6. Feasibility study for Poroj is also prepared and presented to the Programme experts for comments. It was agreed that Poroj will be the first case study for integrated development approach including water flow analysis, regulation of the sediment slides from the remote areas flowing towards Poroj and the land use and urban planning of the area. This will give the Programme clear picture of what is possible to implement within the existing local and regional regulations and will also emphasize the areas where intervention or harmonization of the regulation with the EU regulation is needed Outcome 4: 1. Policy dialog on different level has been initiated in 2019 and 2020, but the actual results are not met due to the limited public gathering during the pandemic. 2. Planning risk mitigation investments through increased public expenditures in flood prevention and justifying a cost-effective use are part of the activities under this output. The Programme has continued its communication with the authorities, and financial institutions on introducing different financing instruments to improve risk management. The project initiated a cooperation with the Ministry of Finance and the Insurance Supervision Agency to open possibility for financing the DRR. To support these processes, the Programme is benefiting from the support of an international risk finance/transfer expert providing advisory services by conducting a gap analysis targeting existing financial capacities and instruments comparing with the actual needs. The consultant provides a framework for the roadmap for implementation of risk financing and risk transfer component to fit with other ongoing and planned changes in the risk finance/transfer area. In this regard, a national policy dialog will be initiated after the elections on Risk Financing and Risk Transfer. Outcome 5: Since one of the main objectives of the project is the continuous capacity building of responsible personnel, the Programme continued networking and transfer of knowledge throughout all its components. For example, in order to make best use of experiences so far in the Polog and Southeast planning regions in DRR, the Programme is facilitating exchange between two UNDP-implemented projects (the Polog project funded by the Government of Switzerland and SEE Urban project funded by the EU). The focus on the exchange are the opportunities provided by inter-municipal cooperation in the context of DRR at local level. Important international/Swiss experience is already being transferred to key beneficiaries through different consultancies and in the course of the stakeholder events (e.g., by the International Technical Adviser, and urban river flooding management experts from Switzerland). Further continuation of transfer of knowledge will be implemented in the upcoming Outcome 1: -Second update of the Flood Risk Management Plan for the Upper Vardar River Basin with the data and information from the relevant ongoing activities -Mainstreaming of DRR and urban resilience priorities into the Detailed Urban Plan (DUO) for the village of Kamenjane, Municipality of Bogovinje -Development of a bylaw for the development of Municipal Flood Defense Plans -Upgrade of the municipal flood defense plans with the bylaw and their alignment with the objectives of FRMP Outcome 1: -Second update of the Flood Risk Management Plan for the Upper Vardar River Basin with the data and information from the relevant ongoing activities is completed. -Mainstreaming of DRR and urban resilience priorities into the Detailed Urban Plan (DUO) for the village of Kamenjane, Municipality of Bogovinje is completed. -Development of a bylaw for the development of Municipal Flood Defense Plans is completed. -Upgrade of the municipal flood defense plans with the bylaw and their alignment with the objectives of FRMP will be completed in 2023.

Our support for the development of the National Development Strategy has the government [the Deputy Prime Ministers of North Macedonia] has the government as a partner in the process as well as other UN agencies, and the donor community. The support for the development of the NDS, is a part of our first frontier challenge #Governance #GoodGovernance, and our learning question on how we can redesign our public policy process. In City Experiment Fund we have created partnerships with the academia, private sector and civil society organization. We have been working on close partnership with other UN agencies in few activities ( SDG tool piloting for the stateless in partnership with UNHCR, Green Shark Challenge in partnership with UNICEF). Together with private sector partners we implemented Accelerate 2030 program in North Macedonia, where two startups made it to global program showcasing their work on the SDGs. 2.3 - At least one government entity or partner has adopted an accelerator lab method. The Accelerator Lab team had the opportunity to support the Democratic Governance unit within our Country office in a process aimed at supporting the development of a National Development Strategy in our country. Within the National Development Strategy process, UNDPs key partners [national institutions] have adopted [through a session of a Steering Board Committee] the methodological approach that we have proposed to be followed for the development of the NDS. Namely, the methodological approach, co-created in a process including national institutions, CSOs, experts the UNDP country office and other entities has used the Doughnut model of economics as a method of mapping risks and identifying areas where we need to build capabilities in our society. The methodology also adopts a more flexible, learning oriented, humble approach to policymaking that relies on iterations and experimentation. This is something that we believe is closely aligned with the #AccLab method of work. 2.4 - At least 50% of our learning challenges are providing actionable knowledge to ongoing CO projects. #GoodGovernance, giving actionable knowledge to our Democratic Governance Unit #SluggishEconomy, giving actionable knowledge to our Environment Unit on circularity, and our Inclusive Prosperity Unit on new jobs and skills. 3.1 - The lab interacts at least once a week with another lab in the network.48 interaction per year Completed.

Together with the City of Skopje and as part of the winning Green Shark Challenge application establish a biohacking laboratory that is open to the public and will contribute to bringing science closer to the community of entrepreneurs. It will enable the design of durable solutions for complex environmental challenges, and it will foster innovation, education, and meaningful engagement of communities around the country. The Initiative will focus on biowaste as an entry point in creating entrepreneurial opportunities for a greener future that can be scaled up across the country and region. Dream Labs – National institutions in North Macedonia The Government of North Macedonia adopted the proposed methodological approach co-designed by UNDP as the guiding principles behind developing the NDS. The methodology also envisions the Dream Labs as a method of engaging citizens in the visioning process of the NDS, but also as a monitoring and implementation mechanism. Thus far the Dream Labs have been organized by UNDP but also other societal actors, including national institutions. DPPD – Financial Management at local governments – the study looked at financial and managerial practices of all of the municipalities based on the datasets from the “Open finance” initiative. The selected positive deviants in the study worked with us to determine the factors of the success, and we where able to do a qualitative data collection on the underlying practices that lead to success. Document Management Systems – Together with Ministry of Information Society and Administration we co-create the digital solution for the system that aims to remove the paper from the public institutions. DMS has been enrolled in one phase at some of the ministries, and one municipality. The 10 institutions provided experiences from the system and insights on how the co-creation of the digital solution would look like. . 2.3 - At least one government entity or partner has adopted an accelerator lab method. The City of Skopje has accepted that the Bio-hacking Lab can serve as aco-creation and open space for opening up science methods to the larger ecosystem of climate scientists. The methods of working of the labaratory were defined using portfolio approach and acclabs methods such as: 1. Bio waste thematic focus – as this initiative is part of a bio-waste circularity portfolio, the lab should allow for activities with thematic focus around bio-waste 2. Fixed “home” – the local ecosystem responds particularly well to the concept of “hubs” – dedicated physical spaces for specific activities that become the place where something happens and a community of interested parties revolve around these physical hubs 3. Active learning space – the biohacking lab is not a library of static content, but a place of experimentation and learning through doing. 4. Open and accessible – the lab should provide access to amateur and semi-professional equipment that could be used by people of different level of knowledge and skills (with guidance) 5. Modular – allowing gradual scaling, starting with a functional MVP, and adding component parts as needed or as funds become available 6. Community-run (eventually) The aspiration is to arrive at a point where the lab is community run; Dream Labs. The Dream Labs are an idea that has been developed by multiple stakeholders involved in the #NDS process. They are an integral part of the methodology that the institutions and UNDP uses to build and formulate the Development Strategy. The national institutions have not only joined Dream Labs as participants, but they have also been a part of the design process, and they some of the Labs are co-organized by them. One example is the co-organized Dream Labs between UN[DP] and the Macedonian Academy of Arts and Sciences. Document Management System: Acc Lab team lead the co-creation of the digital user journey and service blueprint of the digital product. Together with the Ministry of Information Society and Administration, and 10 other public institutions that where part of the first phase of the DMS we worked together to design the layout of the service, functionalities, as well as processes in digital space. 2.4 - At least 50% of our learning challenges are providing actionable knowledge to ongoing CO projects. Actionable Intelligence for the entire country - Impact Assessment of the Multi-dimensional studies = The multi-dimensional crisis worsened the socio-economic situation in North Macedonia. To assess the impact of these crisis the Accelerator Labs alongside the UNDP country office portfolios commissioned the development of two research studies, one on the impact of the crisis on local governments, and the other on the price and availability of commodities in the food and energy sectors. Both studies have informed our arguments, and proposed policies throughout 2022. - Fridays@theLab offered a designated space to the CO colleagues where they could learn, ideate and design interventions. Thought the year we had 40 Fridays where the colleagues participated in the guest presentations, presentations from other teams, discussion sessions, and/or reading insights on various topics. In 2022 the month of March was completely designated to raising actionable intelligence on Gender Issues. Governance: - DPPD : The study was able to combine both big data and qualitative analysis on the practices at local goverments. The learnings form these practices where grouped on three main categories: people and HR related practices, System and processes in place, as well as the tools used by the officers in charge for the financial management. The study point out few area that are replicable across to the other municipalities. - Dream Labs The Dream Labs as a tool provide community actionable intelligence to the country office. The Labs allow for UNDP to interact with citizens, institutions, civil society sector and academia on future –oriented processes, utilizing the Dream Labs as its foresight community tool. Environment: Water + Heat Through the Accelerator Lab water initiative, we provided actionable intelligence to the country office using rapid ethnographic research to learn more about sustainable water management practices. We also gave the country office insights into how we can involve citizens in a crowd-mapping exercise to map the public fountains in the city of Skopje, as well as gathered data that is of use to our country office, but also our national institutions. The Accelerator Lab also provided actionable intelligence to the office on ‘Chief Heat Officers’ by organizing a public debate about this policy innovation, and what we can learn from it, and embed in our city resilience projects. - Nudges The learning goal was to help local CSOs to improve their skills in creating more accurate behavioral interventions that match identified barriers, drivers, and decision situations; The intervention was done together with a project from the Environmental portfolio that has a goal to tackle air pollution in the city and consisted of designing the learning space, finding the right experts and CSO that can implement such behaviour nudges. Inclusive prosperity: -Smart Specialization (Igor) Using the ongoing Smart Specialization Strategy process, the Acceleration labs was able to give actionable intelligence to the three portfolios around innovation policy concept to support regional prioritization in innovative sectors, fields, or technologies through the entrepreneurial discovery process (EDP), a bottom-up approach to reveal what a region does best in terms of its scientific and technological endowments. - Biowaste (Igor) The transformation potential of biowaste was included in the offer of the Inclusive prosperity Unit towards the private sector. The benefits of the workshops conducted in Tetovo, Skopje and Strumica in order to acquaint food processors, retail food sector and consumers with the possibilities of applying the circular economy and the valorization processes of the biowaste for obtaining bioproducts at the national level. 3.1 - The lab interacts at least once a week with another lab in the network. 48 interaction per year Completed. Regular meetings with other Labs over the course of 2022, and active participation in the Global Call, Experimenter/Explorer/Solutions Mapping calls. So far, we have had over 50 direct interactions with other colleagues, including presentation of our concepts developed (for example Fridays@theLab), lead one global learning sessions (on the topic of water); The lab is also patriating on the Collective Intelligence Studio Design lead by Nesta, where we interact regularly with 15 other labs. 3.2 - 25% of information shared across the network should be methodology, or sustainable development issue and opportunity related. Foresight – 2 with regional and EXO Dream Labs – couple of additional session organized across UNDP Crowd mapping – Water The Accelerator Lab team presented the crowd-mapping model used in our water initiative, to the Accelerator Lab network, through the Experimenter Global Call, as well as the communication channels available to the teams. On an invitation of the IRH, the lab engaged on a presentation on how food and biowaste can bring circularity benefits in urban and rural areas. Additionally, the presentation was focused on the way UNDP and UNICEF can collaborate in creating durable solutions for cities with a case stidy the BioHack My World that we are jointly implementing. Portfolio Approach – global showcase The dynamic learning portfolio created around biowaste has been mentioned by the Assistant administrator and Mr Xu as a Portfolio Premier case in one of the 40 such examples in the Compendium of Country Portfolio Cases (page 19) AI and mobility – We organized a session to share insights experiences, and service design with AI on the topic of AI and Mobility for the interested colleagues of the Global network. In this call the portfolio approach used to analyze the problem space and the solution space was presented. 3.3 - The Accelerator Lab Networks work is featured at least 3 times per month in Country Office Social Media channels and tag UNDP Accelerator Labs accounts. - The Lab team engages at least once a week across any social media conversation related to the work of the Accelerator Lab Network, from either personal or CO account (Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn) Examples include: 1. https://twitter.com/UNDPMK/status/1571790334178344960 2. https://twitter.com/UNDPMK/status/1570734523691978752 3. https://twitter.com/UNDPMK/status/1569380943764275200 4. https://twitter.com/UNDPMK/status/1549002832036204544 5. https://twitter.com/UNDPMK/status/1504131833079947264 6. https://www.facebook.com/UNDPMK/videos/602218325028209/ 3.4 - Connect the Accelerator Lab’s publications to local development ecosystem through social media. - Identify and engage with 10 new relevant local social media profiles of the broader Development Ecosystem1. https://marh.mk/interaktivna_mapa_fontani_skopje/ 2. https://www.vecer.press/%D0%BA%D0%B0%D0%B4%D0%B5-%D0%B8%D0%BC%D0%B0-%D1%84%D0%BE%D0%BD%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8-%D0%B2%D0%BE-%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BF%D1%98%D0%B5-%D0%B8-%D0%BA%D0%B0%D0%BA%D0%B2%D0%B0-%D0%B5-%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B2/ 3. https://www.facebook.com/571296029668010/photos/a.574505502680396/2529148557216071/?type=3 4. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0VWU9m5SV0 5. https://www.facebook.com/ZelenHumanGrad/photos/%D0%BF%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%BA%D1%80%D0%B0%D1%81%D0%BD%D0%B0-%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%86%D0%B8%D1%98%D0%B0%D1%82%D0%B8%D0%B2%D0%B0-%D0%BD%D0%B0-%D1%83%D0%BD%D0%B4%D0%BF-%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BF%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B8%D1%82%D0%B5-%D1%84%D0%BE%D0%BD%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8-%D0%BC%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%B0-%D0%B4%D0%B0-%D0%B8%D0%BC%D0%B0%D0%B0%D1%82-%D0%BE%D0%BF%D1%86%D0%B8%D1%98%D0%B0-%D0%B7%D0%B0-%D1%81%D0%B0%D0%BC%D0%BE%D0%B8%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%BB/376200264368130/?paipv=0&eav=AfaU4ZG1lkbe3OZXp2icww2OEHZVy9NI7pY0qxDhPQ5D_rKUy-ixcLmo_RNeNHD7BXA&_rdr 6. https://twitter.com/asteiner/status/1564766165037043712?lang=en 7. https://twitter.com/PwC_MK 8. https://www.facebook.com/PwCNorthMacedonia/posts/pfbid031AUveW1aekQKsiEUkJecnEyXYmfLoKSPsDqXTNQu7ceCbnJcXkaW1GauCKnhFQgfl 9. https://twitter.com/ASteiner/status/1564766165037043712 10. https://twitter.com/SDGintegration/status/1602703233490755587 11. https://twitter.com/UN_Innovation/status/1602282099062472704 12. https://twitter.com/SPendarovski/status/1589626036253515776 13. https://www.mse.mk/mk/content/15/6/2022/21st-annual-conference-of-the-macedonian-stock-exchange 14. https://twitter.com/UNICEFinnovate/status/1551546097746825226?s=20&t=JSIFZ2m_-PL8Bm3ndkgNNw 15. https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6957314276143288320/ 16. https://www.facebook.com/unicef.innovation 17. https://twitter.com/UNDPEurasia/status/1485524943567736841 18. https://provocations.darkmatterlabs.org/dm-note-8-on-art-and-imagination-infrastructure-8b3cee1d32c6 19. https://twitter.com/UNDPEurasia/status/1617453193042006016 20. https://twitter.com/UNDPAccLabs/status/1615015994052730880 21. https://twitter.com/SDGintegration/status/1602703233490755587 22. https://twitter.com/1UN_MK/status/1544331327226388481 23. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/admirim_n%C3%AB-baku-t%C3%AB-azerbejxhanit-pata-k%C3%ABnaq%C3%ABsin%C3%AB-activity-6948287887113162752-DwaI?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop 24. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/admirim_azerbaijan-mobileid-egovernment-activity-6948276989032108032-cyds?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop 25. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/admirim_sot-u-takova-me-prof-enzo-maria-le-fevre-activity-6933425921924239360-zkyP?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop Number of new data sources used at Country Office level 1.2 Diversity of different data sources used 1.3 Number of sustainable development solutions identified and documented 1.4 Variety of innovation methods used to test and iterate over the different hypotheses. 2.1 Learning the Accelerator Lab Network shares with a public audience (outside of UNDP) 2.2 Number of lab insights, processes or products which are taken up by governments or other partners 2.3 Proportion of partners and governments that increase their take up of the innovation methods included in the Accelerator Lab Network suite 2.4 Proportion of UNDP Country Office programming influenced by the Accelerator Lab Network’s work and methodologies 3.1 Size and density of the network effects among the Accelerator Labs 3.2 Number of new models, approaches, and insights documented and disseminated throughout the network. 3.3 Engagement of the broader Development ecosystem with published learnings from the Accelerator Lab Network. 3.4 Amount of influence the learnings and methods of the Accelerator Lab Networks have on the discourse of the broader Development ecosystem.

The Project comprises a set of interrelated capital investments for infrastructure development and accompanying measures with far reaching beneficial impacts for the entire transboundary Prespa Lake basin/Prespa Park area.The Project will contribute to the preservation and improvement of the ecological system in the Prespa Lake area through a series of interlinked capital investments to be implemented within the boundaries of the Municipality of Resen and accompanying capacity development measures. These initiatives are designed to enhance municipal wastewater and solid waste management systems, redirecting harmful pollutants away from natural ecosystems. The Municipality of Resen and the public utility “Proleter” will benefit from carefully planned capacity development efforts, ensuring the sustainability of the newly introduced systems, and resulting communal wastewater and solid waste management services.Furthermore, the Project will contribute to enhancing transboundary cooperation and improving connectivity and mobility around the lake, through the opening of a new border crossing point with Greece, at Markova Noga. This, in turn, is expected to boost socio-economic and tourism development while fostering cooperation among the nations sharing the lake basin. All of this aligns with the main provisions of the International Agreement for the Protection and Sustainable Development of Prespa Park and the trilateral Strategic Action Plan for Prespa Park.
