Perfect Nations estimate, to be confirmed with North Macedonia. Figures marked dated rest on surveys more than five years old; lenient measures are marked as such. The strict measures

Strict measures. Food: share not moderately or severely food insecure (FAO). Water: safely managed drinking water where measured; where it is not, basic water, marked as such. Shelter: the lower of safely managed sanitation and the share outside urban slums. Energy: the lower of electricity per person against 1,000 kWh and clean cooking; where electricity per person is not published, clean cooking. Education: the lower of children reading by the end of primary school and lower-secondary completion. Health: WHO service coverage index. Livelihood: share above the stricter of the national poverty line and the World Bank line for the nation’s income group (US$8.30 a day for high-income nations). Each figure links to its source.

Perfect Nations® · Letters to the NationsNorth Macedonia

Dear North Macedonia,

Your farmland covers half your land, and the EU pays you for every reform you complete, €142.1 million so far.

Yet by the strict international measure, 87.9% of you lack safely managed sanitation, and on the 2021 data a third of your children could not read a simple text by the end of primary school. Let the Growth Plan build the treatment plants and the classrooms every community needs.

“Build the treatment plants and the classrooms every community needs.”
