As Serbia aims to align its policies with those of the Europe, the National Youth Strategy of the Republic of Serbia states that the existing number of youth spaces is not sufficient to meet the needs of young people in the local community, and most of them are not accessible to all youth. There is a need to establish more of the centres and, if needed, clubs and renovate the existing ones according to the standards that should be developed in line with the EU Youth Strategy. To expand the number of centres and to improve the operation of the existent centres, recommendations for further action should be made to achieve the best solution for establishing and operating youth centres, in line with the proposed standards and other venues for youth including youth clubs.

According to the working plan between UNICEF and the Government of Serbia, UNICEF aims to support the improvement of the system for youth work within and beyond youth centres in Serbia. To align with the European standards and fulfil the envisioned objectives of the National Youth Strategy of the Republic of Serbia, it is crucial to continue this work with a higher level of attention to the best practices of the Europe and the Council of Europe and provide a list of standards/quality elements that could be used in Serbia.

In addition, the assignment will include mapping of the existing youth clubs and other spaces in the community for youth that could be used to prepare a proposal for an even and effective distribution of youth centres/clubs.
