As part of the Unified Financial System project, supported by the Development Fund of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), the Red Cross of the Republic of North Macedonia held a workshop on the aspects of financial operations and the implementation of Pantheon – a business information system. The workshop took place from July 14–16, 2025, in Solferino, Struga.

The purpose of the workshop was to present the progress made in implementing Pantheon in the local Red Cross organizations and to address the challenges encountered during the implementation process.
