HELP STARTED IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROJECT "ASSISTANCE TO REFUGEES AND IDPs IN SERBIA"

In December 2009, the Delegation of the European Union in the Republic of Serbia and HELP signed the contract in regard to the implementation of the project „Assistance to Refugees and IDPs in Serbia“. This project is a part of an overall EU programme, under IPA 2008.

The objective of the project is to contribute to the creation of durable solutions in order to address the IDP/Refugee challenge in Serbia in line with the National Strategy for Resolving the Problems of Refugees and IDPs and other relevant strategic documents.  To this end, the project will facilitate the access of a certain number of vulnerable refugees, IDPs and domicile poor to housing solutions and income generation support.

Besides the European Union, through the Delegation of the European Union in the Republic of Serbia, the project was financially supported by the Ministry of Labor and Social Policy of the Republic of Serbia, as well as the cities included in the project: Sremska Mitrovica, Smederevo, Kragujevac and Kraljevo. During the project implementation, HELP will closely cooperate with a local partner - NGO “Advisory - Service Centre for Development of Entrepreneurs – INTEGRA” from Kraljevo.

Project implementation started on 01.02.2010, and will last for 17 months, until 30.06.2011, covering the cities of: Sremska Mitrovica, Smederevo, Kragujevac, Kraljevo and Novi Pazar.

In the initial phase of the project implementation, during February and March 2010, cooperation contracts were signed with Kraljevo, Smederevo, Kragujevac and Sremska Mitrovica, while in April the information campaign will be conducted and information meetings organized in the mentioned cities. The dates and locations of those meetings will be published on our web site at a later stage.
