Even though in the Republic of Serbia there is no specific national strategy on social inclusion of young people, there are three other strategic documents adressing the social inclusion of young people:
-
Strategy for Youth in the Republic of Serbia for the period 2023-2030 (Strategija za mlade u Republici Srbiji za period 2023-2030. godine),
-
Strategy for Social Inclusion of Roma in the Republic of Serbia for the period 2022-2030 (Strategija za socijalno uključivanje Roma i Romkinja za period 2022-2030), with Action Plan for 2026-2027,
-
Strategy of deinstitutionalization and development of social protection services in the community for the period 2022-2026 (Strategija deinstitucionalizacije i razvoja usluga socijalne zaštite u zajednici za period 2022-2026.godine) with Action Plan for 2025-2026.
One of the recent projects aiming at enhancing the social inclusion process in the Republic of Serbia is The EU SHAI Program (Support of the European Union for Social Housing and Active Inclusion) implemented in the period 2019-2025 and funded with €27 million through the IPA 2018 activities. The project aimed at strengthening social inclusion policies, straitening institutional capacities, and providing direct support for housing of 350 families.
The project "Improvement of the Social Protection System and Preparation for the ESF" aims to support the enhancement of social inclusion policies by modernizing the social protection system to improve out-of-institution care and provide modern access to quality and sustainable social protection services within the community for the most vulnerable population groups. The project is implemented in the period 2024-2026 and funded with €2.3 million.
Ministry of Tourism and Youth annually announces public calls for proposals for the implementation of the Youth Strategy 2023-2030, seeking to support projects addressing the social inclusion of young people among other topics.
