Evidence snapshot for North Macedonia
North Macedonia has implemented legal gender quotas and media-literacy interventions with mixed results. A 40% candidate-quota law has not guaranteed proportional outcomes, with women's parliamentary seat share dropping from 42.5% (2024) to 39.2% (2025), while over 500 pensioners trained in disinformation-identification showed 6–12% higher accuracy than untrained peers. However, the state has struggled with AI implementation: €150,000 was spent on ADA, a trilingual investment-information assistant launched in April 2023, which went non-functional after two years when the government did not renew its contract, mirroring a broader pattern where 48 AI projects worth over €6.11 million (2018–2023) failed to reach public-sector implementation.
