2,694 women across Serbia increased their capacities and skills to develop their businesses with the help of UN Women supported projects. s Out of that number, more than 2,000 rural, Roma and/or unemployed women have strengthened their knowledge on entrepreneurship, innovation, organic production, development of business from idea to business plan and increased their digital skills and skills for sewing, waiving, cultivation of medicinal and aromatic plants etc. 252 women (including women from 11 rural women’s associations) received material support and equipment for establishment of their businesses and implementation of the business plans. As an additional result of the empowerment programme, 32 women were employed and 6 women received financial business support from LSG budgets for start-up or further development of their business. During the reporting period, numerous institutions at all government levels were strenghten to better reflect gender equality priorities in their activities and measures. To strengthen the position of women in various areas, the Serbian Government conducted various gender analysis (budget analysis, employment measures, energy, climate change, entrepreneurship, provincial Development Plan) and ensured gender mainstreaming within key planning documents and To facilitate this gender equality mechanisms engaged in widespread dialogue on key gender equality priorities with key stakeholders, including local communities, academia and women's CSOs. All line-ministries, provincial secretariats, oversight bodies and numerous other institutions at national and provincial level applied gender responsive budget (GRB) and integrated gender equality principles in Public Finance Management PFM, thus benefiting women and enabling implementation of initiatives targeting gender equality and improvement of position of women in various sectors, with focus on vulnerable groups. The Republic Secretariat for Public Policy adopted and implemented the Gender Equality Test for new legislation and contributed to increased understanding of gender gaps and challenges in various sectors so that all people, and particularly multi-discriminated groups of women, benefit equally from the newly adopted legislation. The Ministry of European Integration continued with gender mainstreaming of the Instrument for Pre-Accession (IPA) programming and implementation documents. Women living in eighteen local self-governments (LSGs) across Serbia benefitted from developed, financed and implemented initiatives that contributed to the improvement of their position and increased general understanding of gender equality and challenges that women face. Out of 18 LSGs, nine are better equipped to introduce GRB in their 2023 budgets with UN Women’s support. Performed 10 budget gender analysis pointed out to the key challenges and opportunities that women and girls face in relation to social and child protection, environmental protection, sports and youth, tourism, agriculture and local economic development and health protection, that were subsequently addressed through local budgets. Women across Serbia directly benefited from support through increasing their capacities and skills in different areas, direct support for the development of their businesses and implementing initiatives and campaigns aiming to enhance their position and quality of life. UN Women contributed to all these important processes through various capacity development activities, experts support and facilitating social dialogue. 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
