Data on Poverty Trends in Serbia

Statements on PRS

“Now we have the framework (PRS)—and the framework is good. This is one of the rare occasions when a new Government does not change the strategy of the previous Government, when everything starts all over again. We know that a significant number of our fellow-citizens lives below the poverty line. They live in various regions of the country, and various activities can improve their position. We all are obliged to link our activities in order to enable a better life for them.”

Miroljub Labus,
former Deputy Prime Minister,
at the Conference on Poverty Reduction in Serbia,
Plandište, Ferbuary 22, 2005.

Partners in PRS Implementation

Partners in the PRS implementation drafted the following conclusions at the Conference on Poverty Reduction in Serbia, held in Plandište on February 22, 2005:

Line minsitries: The relevant line ministries, government institutions and agencies are responsible for the implementation of policies, measures and activities laid out in the PRS paper. In regard to that, it will be necessary to develop programs and plans of action and strengthen internal links among the staff at the central, regional and local government level responsible for the budget process, coordination of donor assistance, European integration process and public administration reform

The National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia: The role of the Parliament Committee for Poverty Reduction is to review draft laws and oversee the process of budget adoption and allocation in regard to the PRS implementation. It also provides suggestions and comments related to the PRS implementation process and engages in the institutionalization and participation of the citizens' representatives in the decision-making process related to the PRS.

PRS Implementation Focal Point: The role of the Deputy Prime Minister's PRS Implementation Focal Point is to oversee and coordinate the process of PRS implementation, as well as to monitor and report on poverty status in Serbia. The PRS Implementation Focal Point was established in September 2004, within the Deputy Prime Minister's Office

Local Self-Governments: The critical role of local self-governments is to identify problems and develop policies at the local level, develop local plans of action through the operationalization of the PRS, mobilize local and regional resources and create favourable environment for the implementation of poverty reduction measures

Civil society and social partners: Civil society organizations and social partners are to continue to play a pro-active role in the implementation, monitoring and evaluation of the PRS implementation process.

Civil Society Advisory Committee

Trade Unions Advisory Committee

Business Community Advisory Committe

International donors: International Development Partners will support poverty reduction efforts by fully incorporating recommendations of the PRS in their regular programming and implementation
