COVID-19 Socio-Economic Impact Assessment
This assessment provides an in-depth overview of the impact of COVID-19 on key economic and human development perspectives: health, social protection and provision of basic services, jobs and the economy, macroeconomic stability, community cohesion, governance and resilience, and the environment. It is framed around the UN Secretary-General’s framework for an immediate socio-economic response to COVID-19; it promotes more sustainable development and an opportunity to build forward better in the aftermath of the crisis, with an end goal of accelerating achievement of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (the “Agenda 2030”).
Guidelines on Media Reporting on Violence against Women
The guidelines are a result of several months’ analyses and discussions of the group Journalists against Violence against Women, comprising about thirty journalists from national and local media, which was formed thanks to UNDP Serbia and the B92 Fund. Through talks and sharing experiences – both within the group and with peers with whom group members met, as well as by monitoring the media situation and reporting on the social issue of violence against women, we identified a personal, professional and social need for a document of this kind.
