The OHRID Institute is an independent, non-profit think tank. We work with policymakers of varied ideological backgrounds, helping them to adopt and implement innovative policy recommendations. Our commitment is to provide balance to the policy discourse in Macedonia by providing economic policy research, promoting private sector and free market reform and acting as a “watchdog” on government activities to ensure accountability and contribute to Macedonia’s development into a market-based democratic society. Our governing board is composed of respected leaders from the Macedonian business, academic, political and nongovernmental communities. Named after the ancient city of Ohrid, we are dedicated to maintaining its legacy of mutual understanding, dialogue and trust.
