Abschnitt II: Gegenstand
81291760-Short-Term Expert Pool to support Public Financial Management Reform in Serbia
The project advises the Ministry of Finance (MoF) including its subordinate authorities and key actors fostering the implementation of the 2030 Agenda on technical and strategic issues. Moreover, it hosts a non-state actors" platform (SDGs4All) on the 2030 Agenda with the objective to increase the evidence-based participation of non-state stakeholders in the policy making.
It works in four fields of intervention: 1) Improving Public Internal Financial Control (PIFC) mechanisms (EU negotiation chapter 32 ); 2) Advancing the fulfilment of PFM-relevant EU negotiation chapters (namely 16, 17, 18, 29, 33); 3) supporting public institutions in exercising their roles regarding the 2030 Agenda implementation; and 4) supporting evidence-based participation of non-state actors in national and local 2030 Agenda monitoring.
The Module Objective reads: "Serbia has implemented key reform steps within the EU negotiation cluster 1 in the area of public finances and the 2030 Agenda". It will be achieved thorugh interventions in four outputs, two of which (Output 1 and 2) directly relate to PFM reforms while Output 3 and 4 relate to pursuing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Develpoment in Serbia (not displayed here).
The objectives of two PFM-relevant Outputs (1 and 2) read as follows:
Output 1: Strengthening Internal Financial Control
In Serbia's internal financial control system, internal audit and budget inspection work more effectively.
Output 2: Strengthening the functioning and efficiency of the PFM System
Based on progress in relation to negotiation Cluster 1 "Fundamentals", Chapters 16, 17, 18, 29, 33 and the 2030 Agenda, the public finance system is more effective.
Thus the project"s support activities will expectedly focus on, but not necessarily be limited to: Financial Control, Budget Management, Domestic Revenue Mobilisation, EU rapprochement and cross-cutting issues (such as organizational development, human resources management - HRM, Soft skills development, project management, digitisation of the administration, "Green PFM issues" e.g. green budget tagging, public participation/citizens engagement, gender/LNOB).

- one pool of locally/regionally (Western Balkans) experienced PFM experts to provide expertise required to implement any PFM reform activities
- one pool of locally/regionally experienced (Western Balkans) IT experts to support IT-related reforms of the PFM system.
