Communication and visibility. Communication and visibility are tools for raising the public awareness on sector reforms as well as instruments for gaining public support for the intended changes and reaching out the biggest possible number of potential beneficiaries of the planned measures. Therefore communication will be given high importance during the implementation of the Action. A Communication and Visibility Plan will be elaborated at an early stage and will be further implemented with the support of the envisaged technical assistance (complementary support). It will involve both the national authorities and the European Commission / EU Delegation to Skopje. The resources and capacity of the national authorities will be used in the communication exercises. Currently, the Operational Plan for Active Employment Services and Measures has a chapter and funds dedicated to communication. Both ministries have PR Departments and functional websites in Macedonian and Albanian language, where well structured information on the targeted sector reforms and Action activities will be published. Both ministers will have an important role in communication of the reforms. All visibility and communication actions shall focus on results and changes achieved and shall demonstrate how the EU support brings the country closer to the EU standards. The communication policy applied must ensure that the added value and impact of the EU's interventions are understood by the citizens and that EU funds are managed and used in an transparent, efficient and effective way for the benefit of the country as a whole. All necessary measures will be taken to respect the EU communication and visibility rules . Promotion of the action will be also achieved through the visibility and communication strategy "EU for YOU", of the EU Delegation, based on sector campaigns, which target the citizens at large outlining the benefits of the EU aid for the country in a communicative, comprehensible and interactive style. In addition, all EU projects are promoted through the Delegation web-site. As of 2018, the EU Delegation together with ▇▇▇▇▇ launched the IPA Visualization Map (▇▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇) providing information on all IPA projects in the country.

Communication and visibility. The project results will be disseminated during the project through the various capacity-building and training activities as outlined in the project document. The final results will be disseminated through the final regional workshop, FAO and STDF channels and various planned publications.

Communication and visibility. Communication and visibility are considered a critical element to the success of this SRC intervention in particular, and to the overall reform process in PAR and PFM in general. Communication within the reform process is part of the relevant change management aspects, and as such a key element of the actions to be undertaken for the achievement of the results included into this SRC. For this purpose, a designated communications and visibility team will be established, in order to ensure that there is clear, coherent, and positive internal and external communications developed within and among the different public administration institutions and with the relevant stakeholders and wider audience. All necessary measures will be taken to publicise the fact that the Action has received funding from the EU in line with the Communication and Visibility Manual for EU External Actions. Additionally, the Visibility Guidelines developed by the Commission (DG NEAR) will have to be followed. The Action shall be aimed at strengthening general public awareness and support of interventions financed and the objectives pursued. The actions shall aim at highlighting to the relevant target audiences the added value and impact of the EU’s interventions and will promote transparency and accountability on the use of funds.
