Promoting Interethnic Integration Throughout Macedonia: On March 15, 2017, over 1,200 teachers, parents, students, school administrators, municipal leaders, and Ministry of Education officials from all corners of Macedonia celebrated the accomplishments of USAID's Interethnic Integration in Education Project (IIEP), a five year initiative that is coming to a close. The project reached all of Macedonia's 430+ primary and secondary schools, establishing nearly 400 partnerships between schools of different languages of instruction; training over 20,000 teachers to engage with diversity; and reaching tens of thousands of students through school- or community-level activities contributing to better interethnic understanding. In addition, 63 schools were renovated with the funding from the U.S. European Command, leveraged with the Ministry of Education and municipalities' resources, benefiting 46,000 students and 5,000 teachers across the country. While ethnic integration requires an ongoing effort, the massive engagement and support for IIEP's activities proved that ethnic integration is both needed and possible
