UN Women’s Serbia Strategic Note 2022–2025 stresses advancing gender equality and women's empowerment and gender mainstreaming through the European Union accession process, national budgets and development funds. Active in various regions, especially rural areas, the programme stresses supporting women's civil society organizations.
Priority areas include advancing gender-responsive governance, ending violence against women and increasing the social inclusion of marginalized groups. Gender-responsive budgeting and institutional capacity-building, among other approaches, help to achieve programme objectives and guide effective implementation of gender equality reforms and policies.
Major partnerships enhance programme effectiveness. They include collaborations with UN entities, local women's civil society organizations and donors such as the Government of Sweden and European Union. UN Women engages with international financial institutions and the private sector to leverage investment in gender smart approaches. Strategic Note direct funding plays a crucial role in sustaining impacts and mobilizing resources for gender equality.
