Agencia has completed it’s 2 year project to lead the introduction of a new Probation Service in the Republic of Macedonia. The project, which is part of a larger EU justice reform project, has been led by Agencia’s Andy Stelman.
In common with many countries, prisons in Macedonia suffer from overcrowding and there are currently relatively few alternative sanctions available. Andy Stelman is pictured with the ‘training the trainers group.’
This work in Macedonia is one of a number of justice reform programmes in the Balkans that Agencia has been privileged to deliver.

The approach of our international department has evolved, and will continue to evolve with experience. It is an approach based upon a commitment to deliver meaningful and sustainable beneficial change, and hence real value for money. It involves being very open with sponsors about the real challenges faced, and establishing and maintaining close liaison with potential stakeholders, including the international community, working to identify synergies and ensuring co-ordinated action for maximum impact. Importantly, it also includes a multi-faceted approach to delivering change and improvement into change-resistant organisations, whether that resistance be centred around political, cultural, system/process blockages or reluctant individuals. We seek a complementary balance between international and local consultants within our team which both increases value for money and helps keep a continuous presence on the ground when international staff are not in-country.
Agencia can deploy from a wide range of justice, policing/investigative and health subject experts who also bring expertise of change management and project management. Agencia has also established a reputation for understanding complex multi-donor and stakeholder relationships within transition scenarios, and is committed to communication strategies that enhance stakeholder engagement. Our key services include: Criminal Justice Reform and Rule of Law; Diagnostic and scoping exercises to identify issues; Strategic planning for the judiciary; Court administration and management improvements; Performance improvement support in order to meet benchmarks for European Union accession; Reform and restructuring of judicial institutions; Capacity building of the judiciary, prosecutors, public defenders, and other justice institutions; Delay reduction and efficiency programs; Enhancement of access to justice; Anti-corruption; Developing and refining criminal intelligence gathering and handling systems; Serious and organized crime; Specialist Investigations; Major Incidents and Events; Community Policing and Terrorism.
