What we are doing
- Advocate changes to current legislation focused on broadening food surplus donation regulations including the need for tax benefits for food donors
- Increased capacities within the civil sector to provide food surplus donation redistribution
- Protection for food donors and recipient agencies from liabilities
Why?
- Current legislation and regulation inhibits food surplus donations leading to a tremendous waste of resources to support the 1 and 5 Macedonians who are food insecure
How?
- Review food surplus donations from countries throughout the European Union and Western Balkans
- Create policy analysis after review from situation abroad and domestically
- Host working session with members of the Ministry of Labor and Social Policy, Agriculture, Finance and Food and Veterinary Agency including members from the civil sector
- Share findings and opportunities with Chambers of Commerce
- Report results with Prime Minister to identify and assign relevant ministry support to establish legislation steps to move forward
