Slovak Transformation City Experiment Fund
“City Experiment Fund 3.0” as part of the UNDP regional project Slovak Transformation Fund funded by the Ministry of Finance of the Slovak Republic will support ten cities across the Europe and Central Asian region in applying systems thinking, the so-called ‘portfolio’ approach to tackle complex urban development challenges. This approach recognizes that there are no simple, singular solutions to complex challenges and that addressing complexity (especially wicked problems) requires experimentation, continuous learning, and dynamic management. In North Macedonia, the project is implemented in municipalities of Gostivar and Kavadarci.
