The Association of Finance Officers of the Local Government and Public Enterprises

The Association of Finance Officers of the Local Government and Public Enterprises (AFO) was officially recognized by the North Macedonian authorities as a non-governmental, professional association in November 1997. AFO was established to:

· Enhance the professionalism of municipal finance officers throughout North Macedonia;

· Provide a forum for disseminating information for resolving and sharing commonly faced problems and issues; and

· Serve as a representative who promotes the interests of the local governments regarding fiscal and budgetary issues to the central government.

The Association is comprised of nearly three hundred (300) finance officers from the municipalities and the public enterprises of over 2/3 of the municipalities in North Macedonia. The primary goal is to create an organization that will represent all municipalities in the country. Toward this aim, the Executive Board has appointed twenty-four (24) regional coordinators, who work to promote the AFO’s activities and recruit more members.
