Curriculum for working with youth at risk

One of the outcomes of the “No risk, no borders for young people” project, coordinated by the Drug Policy Network South East Europe (DPNSEE) together with the project partners Aksion Plus (Albania), Margina (Bosnia Herzegovina), Juventas (Montenegro), Prevent and Re Generation (Serbia) and supported by the Regional Youth Cooperation Office (RYCO) within its 4th Open Call co-financed by the European Union, is the regional Curriculum for working with youth at risk.

The Curriculum was developed using a comprehensive educational approach, fully based on principle “youth for youth”. By including the youth in its design, testing and applying, it enabled the full match of the Curriculum with the present youth interests and issues of both the youth at risk as its beneficiaries and “other” youth.

It includes sections on Terms and definitions, Course delivery mode, Educational tools and materials (from international level) for working with youth at risk, Online tools for organizing educational activities, and four modules on The issues, The communities, The approaches and Systemic approach with 15 different topics.

The Curriculum was produced by external experts appointed through an open call: Megi Xhumari, Ioanis Papadopoulos and Aleksandar Trudić. Young people which participated in the project implementation, participating in a focus group, project team and trainers contributed with their expertise, ideas and comments.

The Curriculum was produced in English and is available in Albanian and Bosnian – Montenegrin – Serbian versions.

Budget analysis in countries of South East Europe

One of the most important activities of the regional project Budget Advocacy and Monitoring in countries of South East Europe was Assessment of the national budgets. The national analysis were published in separate documents, with the regional survey as a summary of all three national analysis including experience of a similar exercise conducted in Macedonia.

Bosnia Herzegovina

In scope of the poject, Association Margina, the national coordinator of the project in Bosnia Herzegovina, published the budget analysis for the Federation of Bosnia Herzegovina and Republika Srpska.

The document entitled “Analiza budžeta Federacije Bosne i Hercegovine i Republike Srpske 2016 – 2018” was produced by mr sci Faruk Hadžić dipl ecc with support of the Association Margina team.

Besides budget analysis of the two entities for each of the three years, the document also includes an analysis of the Health Fund budget in both entities with specific insight into the Solidarity Fund and analysis of the excise tax rates on cigarettes and tobacco.

The Analysis of the budgets in Bosnia and Herzegovina is available following this link>>>.

Montenegro

In Montenegro, the budget analysis includes data from the ministries of Health, Labor and Social Welfare and Justice. It also includes analysis of the programmes that civil society organisations implement with the support fro the authorities.

The aim of the Analysis is to explore level of sustainability of the existing programmes and explore new models that would allow for better functioning of the programmes.

The document “Kako premostiti jaz u finansiranju i ostvariti održivost odgovora na HIV: Analiza budžeta Ministarstava zdravlja, rada i socijalnog staranja i pravde” was prepared by the Juventas team and external consultant Vladan Đekić.

The Analysis is available following this link>>>.

Serbia

The budget analysis in Serbia was prepared by the team of consultants engaged by Association Prevent.

The surveys were of a meta-analytic nature, conducted on data and information obtained on the basis of publicly available documents published by state bodies: the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Finance, the Parliament of the Republic of Serbia, the Customs Administration and the Agency for Business Registers.

The analysis clearly shows a continuous decrease in the allocation of funds for preventive health care, regardless of whether the total budget of the Ministry is increased or decreased and whether the budget of the Ministry of Health occupies a higher or lower percentage in the national budget for a given year. The most significant finding is the constantly present difference in the planned and executed budget – the allocated/spent funds are continuously reduced compared to those planned.

Besides the analysis of the budget of the Ministry of Health which was produced, DPNSEE has prepared and presented the Analysis of the public calls for prevention of the Ministry of Health. This analysis is available following this link>>>.

 

 

 

Another document prepared in scope of the project in Serbia is the Analysis of the national fund from opportunity of prosecution (deferring of a criminal prosecution and dismissing a criminal complaint due to a genuine remorse of a suspect). This analysis is available following this link>>> (updated version after using documents received from the Ministry of Justice).

  • Document the pilot in 3 Balkan countries and to analyse the strengths and weaknesses of this approach and to develop suggestions for improvement; and,
