We have made an evaluation of our project in 2005. We gave it to the Ministry for education of Republic of Macedonia. The evaluation was made by OSCE, and the outcome was that in the clubs where FCEWM was working, there is a significant difference compared to the clubs which were left on their own. These clubs were formed by the Government  of Republic of Macedonia as a path towards the peace after the conflict in 2001.

Established in 1992 The First Children’s Embassy in the World - Megjashi is recognized as the leading Macedonian NGO for advocating and promoting children’s’ rights.  In 2001 Megjashi was the first ever recipient of an award for civil society and democracy given in recognition of its lasting and sustainable contribution to the establishment of democratic society in Macedonia through its work for the democratic society in Macedonia through its work for the rights of children.  It has been supported by funding from several large international donors who have chosen to continue to fund our subsequent projects (such donors include USAID, EU Commission, the Royal Netherlands embassy…). For the last two years our accounts have been successfully audited by KPMG.

We have a developed strategy for reaching to youth as well as principles according to which, they can get involved in these activities. There are approximately 500 students and they are being informed publicly for the activities of the clubs. Professors for the same schools work with these clubs, and they also inform their students. The Professors are from different ethnicities, and with each activity we try to ensure different genders, age etc.
