CDI Macedonia, in partnership with Preda Plus and ADRF and with support from partner organisations within the regional EMPOWERED initiative, is organising a trilateral conference dedicated to advancing the inclusion of persons with disabilities and strengthening regional cooperation for sustainable development in the Western Balkans.
The event will take place on February 4, 2026, at the Holiday Inn Skopje and continues the series of knowledge‑sharing activities initiated at the regional conference in May 2025 and the trilateral meeting in Sarajevo at the end of 2025.
The conference aims to bring together decision‑makers, ministry representatives, organisations of persons with disabilities, experts and private‑sector stakeholders to discuss two thematic sessions — regional cooperation, innovation and advocacy for systemic change, and employment policies and support for the employment of persons with disabilities — and to identify concrete steps for policy harmonisation, exchange of good practices and development of innovative solutions for an inclusive labour market.
Special focus will be placed on empowering the participation of persons with disabilities in policymaking, strengthening regional advocacy networks and improving support mechanisms for long‑term inclusion.
Organised by CDI Macedonia in cooperation with Preda Plus Foundation and ADRF – Albanian Disability Rights Foundation.
