The JP implemented by IOM, ILO, UNDP and UNICEF will support national and local institutions to implement policy and operational measures that will increase youth employment in Serbia while concurrently reducing the negative impact of return and irregular migration.
Interventions will be implemented in South Backa, Belgrade and Pcinjski Districts and will focus on i) developing evidence-based policies on youth employment and migration; ii) strengthening the capacity of national institutions to design integrated labour market and social services that are aligned with policy objectives; and iii) supporting local institutions to pilot innovative employment programmes and social services. The JP will target disadvantaged young women and men, especially young Roma returning to Serbia under readmission agreements, as well as those at risk of social exclusion who are prime candidates for emigration. It will contribute to the achievement of MDG1 (indic.2) and MDG8 (indic.45).
