🗣 Today, together with UNICEF MK, we started the dialogue on policies to assess and address the effects of the energy and food crisis. The competent policy holders from the ministries of finance, economy and labor and social policy participate in the consultative process.
The main goal of the project is to generate evidence and foster a policy dialogue for the food and energy insecurities in the Western Balkan economies pertinent to four key fronts: household livelihoods, firms’ competitiveness, fiscal space and the regional integration.
The general goal of the action is to analyze and monitor budget spending for anti-crisis measures, at the national and local level, and to propose modification and/or new measures in conditions of an emphasized need for rationalization of public money spending.
