Gender responsive budgeting in Serbia 2018

This year marks ten years since the beginning of introduction of gender responsive budgeting (GRB) in the Republic of Serbia and there are many reasons to be satisfied. GRB is an integral part of the Budget System Law and institutions at the national, provincial and local level are included in its implementation. The gradual introduction of this new practice in creation, financing, implementation and monitoring of public policies is supported by national, provincial and local gender equality mechanisms. The process is governed by the Ministry of Finance, Provincial Secretariat of Finance and heads of finance departments at local level, with UN Women technical and expert support.
