The Joint UN Programme “PRO – Local Governance for People and Nature” has begun implementing activities that will contribute to improving citizens’ quality of life in 99 eligible towns and municipalities in the regions of Šumadija and Western, Eastern and Southern Serbia
This programme, which is being jointly implemented by UN agencies in Serbia – UNOPS, UNICEF, UNFPA and UNEP – in cooperation with the Government of Serbia, is supported financially by the Government of Switzerland.
The Programme has been designed to enable continuous contributions from new partners, including from the private sector, while it also aims to inspire the business community to participate in Programme activities and thus contribute – through the enhancement of good governance, social inclusion and environmental protection – to the sustainable development of local communities across Serbia. This includes supporting local initiatives that contribute to a healthier and cleaner environment, the modernisation and digitalisation of public services, as well as interventions that will benefit informal waste collectors whose income is impacted by the construction of regional recycling centres.
