The outcome was not fully achieved; however, is on track, as women in Serbia benefitted from important progress that was made during the year, because institutions at all government levels are better reflecting gender equality priorities in their activities and measures. With the aim of improving the position of women in various areas, the Serbian Government facilitated dialogue with key stakeholders, local communities, academia and women's CSOs on key gender equality priorities, including gender-responsive language . The Serbian government also identified key gaps and challenges that women and girls face in access to finances through a budget gender analysis focused on entrepreneurship and support measures in agriculture. The Ministry of European Integration continued with gender mainstreaming of the Instrument for Pre-Accession (IPA) programming and implementation documents. All line-ministries, provincial secretariats, oversight bodies and numerous other institutions at national and provincial level applied and further improved GRB and integrated gender equality principles in Public Finance Management (PFM), thus benefiting women through initiatives targeting gender equality and improvement the of position of women in various sectors, with focus on vulnerable groups. Women living in eleven local self-governments (LSGs) across Serbia benefitted from initiatives that contributed to the improvement of their position and increased general understanding of gender equality and challenges that women face, through development of business ideas, product promotion, marketing, product placement, etc. UN Women contributed to all these important processes through various capacity development programmes, provision of experts’ support and facilitating social dialogue. More than 2,140 women across Serbia increased their awareness and skills in different areas that will contribute to the improvement of their position (inheritance rights, advocacy techniques including advocating for evidence-based policies at the local level, monitoring gender equality policies, collecting data, and patient’s rights, with an emphasis on induced abortion). The CSOs Coalition on Equal Inheritance formed and will continue to educate and legally support women. UN Women contributed to this through the established partnership with five women’s CSOs, organization of events and capacity development and direct support. Based on the progress to date, the initial strategy and theory of change still apply because women and girls still cannot fully exercise their rights and equally contribute and benefit from development and enjoy life free from discrimination.Disclaimer and notes
