Data on Poverty Trends in Serbia

Statements on PRS

The crucial battle for poverty reduction is fought at the local level. Close cooperation of the state with local authorities provides the necessary resources for the battle. These projects are providing opportunities for local actors to improve the work of their municipalities in cooperation with the country and EU. The long-term value of such support for local authorities is the creation of institutional infrastructure for implementing national strategies, such as the program of support for poverty reduction.
