In 9 years’ time MOST has mobilized more than 90,000 citizens to take part in a wide range of activities aimed at increasing transparency, accountability and responsiveness of government.

Its www.pravo.org.mk web portal provides citizens easy access to information on Macedonian laws and regulations and has 48,396 registered users and an average of 2,189 visitors and 7,430 downloads per day.  The portal, which was launched with international donor support, is today self-sustaining.

MOST’s program to educate first time voters launched in 2004 reached twenty-three thousand new graduates of high schools throughout Macedonia through the organization of nearly nine hundred workshops.  The program’s success provided incentive to the Ministry of Education to incorporate voter education into the national curriculum.  In addition to workshops, MOST published a “First Time Voters’ Guide” and “Election Dictionary”.
