Tim za socijalno uključivanje i smanjenje siromaštva

At the invitation of the European Commission, the Government of the Republic of Serbia has started development of the Employment and Social Reform Program – ESRP. Following the call of the Ministry of Labour, Employment and Social Policy, the Social Inclusion and Poverty Reduction Unit and the Office for Cooperation with the Civil Society, the interested organisations were able to submit their comments on the draft challenges of the first part of ESPR by 26 March 2014.

ESRP is a new instrument that will be used to establish and monitor the key priorities in employment and social policy in the EU accession countries.

Much like the EU employment guidelines, ESRP will present solutions in three sectors: labour market and employment policy, human capital and policy of development of skills and social inclusion and social protection policy. Additionally, the document will include horisontal aspects such as capacity building, management and institutional reforms, as well as the utilisation of EU funds for implementation of the planned reforms.
