Abstract

The potential benefit for Serbia offered by multi-sector partnerships is enormous: they could provide solutions to burning issues in local communities in terms of local development while they could bring about welcome transformations within and across sectors due to their impact on increased access to resources, service-focused leadership, participatory and inclusive decision making practices, and results that build on synergies. Partnership development, however, faces a number of outstanding problems, linked to the legal, administrative and historical framework, that constrain the emergence of NGOs and their participation in civic life. A number of obstacles with regard to trust, communication and capacities in the local communities aggravate this situation. The government has to learn to communicate effectively with citizens and their initiatives, whilst NGOs have to be more aware of their social responsibility. Well-established NGOs and local government should play a more pro-active role and combine their resources and skills towards collective ends.
加强非政府组织,促进塞尔维亚更有效的地方治理和伙伴关系
多部门伙伴关系为塞尔维亚提供的潜在利益是巨大的:它们可以为当地社区在当地发展方面的紧迫问题提供解决方案,同时它们可以在部门内部和部门之间带来可喜的变革,因为它们可以增加获得资源的机会,以服务为中心的领导,参与性和包容性的决策实践,以及建立在协同作用基础上的结果。然而,伙伴关系的发展面临着一些与法律、行政和历史框架有关的突出问题,这些问题限制了非政府组织的出现和它们对公民生活的参与。当地社区在信任、沟通和能力方面的一些障碍使这种情况更加恶化。政府必须学会有效地与公民和他们的倡议沟通,而非政府组织必须更加意识到自己的社会责任。成熟的非政府组织和地方政府应该发挥更积极的作用,将他们的资源和技能结合起来,共同实现目标。
