2 Background: The Social Inclusion Poverty Reduction Unit Government Republic of Serbia UNICEF in Serbia are launching the process of revising social inclusion poverty reduction, which will provide the basis for enhancing the framework for monitoring the social inclusion poverty reduction process at the national local levels in the Republic of Serbia. In 2008, the Social Inclusion Poverty Reduction Unit launched the process of defining a framework for monitoring social inclusion poverty reduction in Serbia. Consequently, the study Monitoring Social Inclusion in Serbia was developed in 2009; the study defined a set of for monitoring social inclusion poverty reduction in Serbia, based on two pillars: the established European country-specific. An extensive consultative process coordinated by the Social Inclusion Poverty Reduction Unit in resulted in the common agreement on adoption of a list of to monitor progress in the area of social inclusion under six s of social inclusion from two perspectives (the EU framework perspective the country-specific perspective. The six s of social inclusion used as the basis for reporting to date are: 1. financial poverty, 2. employment, 3. health, 4. education, 5. deprivation of basic needs (material deprivation, 6. social participation. Following the study Monitoring Social Inclusion in Serbia 1, which contains an overview adopted provides an insight into the state of affairs in society, two reports on the status of social inclusion poverty profiles in the Republic of Serbia were prepared. 2 The used as the basis for reporting to date pertained to the national level only, while the definition monitoring of social inclusion at the local level was missing. These activities were conducted in cooperation with the Statistical Office Republic of Serbia, which regularly monitors reports on the level of social inclusion in the country based on the set The first report, Monitoring Social Inclusion in Serbia Overview Current Status of Social Inclusion in Serbia Based on Monitoring European National Indicators covers the period until 2009, the other, Monitoring Social Inclusion in Serbia Overview Current Status of Social Inclusion in Serbia Based on Monitoring European National Indicators Second Amended Edition covers the period until

3 Further, with UNICEF support, the Statistical Office Republic of Serbia introduced the practice of regular biannual updating social inclusion in the DevInfo national database, starting from After 2008, further development of continued at the EU level. The need to continue the development of social inclusion that would provide clearer indications changes in the status overall population, as well as its vulnerable portion, both adults children, was also identified at the national level. Moreover, the need to measure, with a higher degree of precision in a timely manner, the effects of measures activities undertaken with a view to reducing social exclusion poverty in the country, was recognised as well. One aspect of this need concerned clearer identification of local social inclusion poverty levels. The revision EU monitoring framework of subsequent amendments of included the definition of primary or lead or supporting, while both primary included defined sets of EU country-specific. In addition, reporting on overarching context information was introduced7. In the fulfilment of this assignment, the activities in which the Republic of Serbia participates in the capacity of a UN member state in pursuit global development goals should be taken into account. In September 2015, upon expiry period in which global development policies were guided by the Millennium Development Goals, the UN member states adopted a new global development agenda defined under 17 global Sustainable Development Goals 8. The Republic of Serbia committed to aligning its development policies with the Sustainable Development Goals. Through this process, based on the 17 global goals, Serbia will set realistic national targets define monitoring. This process will be steered by the Government's Working Group formed in December This assignment is launched in response to the need for a comprehensive update established for monitoring social inclusion poverty levels in the Republic of Serbia, notably in view of: - the new features in the EU framework for monitoring exclusion poverty, - the UN framework for monitoring the UN Sustainable Development Goals the need to cascade the set goals down to the national level, - other international frameworks (OECD, ILO etc., as well as European Commission, Employment, Social Affairs Equal Opportunities DG, Portfolio of overarching streamlined social inclusion, pension, health portfolios, Brussels, June European Commission, Employment, Social Affairs Equal Opportunities DG, Portfolio of for the monitoring of the European Strategy for Social Protection Social Inclusion 2009 update, Brussels, September The terminology used in the present document is consistent with that used in the EU.
