On the 29^th of September 2011, at the EU InfoCentre in Skopje Analytica’s members Sonja Zuber and Ana Stojilovska together with the external expert Igor Pancevski promoted the final product of the project Changing the habits – how to get to an energy efficient municipality funded by the Unit for Cooperation with the Civil Sector in the General Secretariat by The Government of the Republic of Macedonia. The three part presentation consisted of several topics, from how the manual was created and what was the idea behind it through practical tips about energy efficiency for the municipalities to what all the possibilities for cooperation and funding for energy efficiency projects on municipal level are. The conclusion of the project and on this promotion was that Macedonia has vast possibilities for being energy efficient and that municipalities are yet to seize the opportunity to implement that on their respective territories. The manual is just the beginning in the creation of documents and products that will enhance and improve the energy efficiency on municipal level. The next steps include trainings of civil servants in municipalities who work on these issues and establishing even closer cooperation between the civil sector and the municipal authorities.
