This report provides a robust synthesis of the major thematic elements that drive the development, scope, and rationale of Disengagement Rehabilitation and Reintegration (DRR) practices in North Macedonia and further presents institutional and community-level DRR practices. The data was collected through desk research; key informant interviews were held in January and February 2022, and focus group discussions were facilitated in February 2022.
Several aspects were thereby examined in closer detail: the legal framework, the institutional setup on the national and community level, prison-based and probation services, the capacity of frontline practitioners, the systematic approach, the protocols and procedures in practice and the treatment of so-called vulnerable categories (namely, women and children).
