Koridori Srbije d.o.o. 21 Kralja Petra Street, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia Tel: +381 11 33 44 174 E-mail: [email protected], Web site: www.koridorisrbije.rs 2/20 TERMS OF REFERENCE Gender in the Transport Sector: Republic of Serbia I INTRODUCTION 1. The Republic of Serbia is committed to advance gender equality as a prerequisite for sustainable development, peace and security, to ensure equal opportunities for women and man and to leave no one behind. In the continuous effort to ensure sustainable progress and to enhance impact of Government policies, programs, measures and activities in advancing gender equality, Government of Republic of Serbia has established Coordination body for Gender Equality (CBGE) in 2014. This national, multisectoral mechanism is reflecting Serbia’s high political commitment to tackle gender inequality as it is led by the Deputy Prime Minister and the Minister of Construction, Transportation and Infrastructure, and is coordinating all government efforts towards achieving full equality of women and man. 2. Gender Equality in Transport Sector is a relatively unexplored field in the country. The Coordination Body for Gender Equality (CBGE) and the Ministry of Construction, Transportation and Infrastructure (MCTI) are considering ways to raise the issue of gender equality in transport in the Republic of Serbia. This area has significantly evolved globally over time, and the Government of Serbia would like to systematically approach the issue by developing appropriate strategic document which will define general and specific measures for the improvement of gender equality in transport in the country. 3. The Government of Serbia (or the “GoS”) wishes to engage a Consultant (“the Consultant” hereinafter) to undertake a comprehensive gender study (“the Assignment”) with a goal to support the Government to: i) understand gender patterns in transport sector and how this compare to EU countries; ii) enhance its transport service provision so to ensure that it offers services that incorporates the needs of both women and men and particularly of the former into the design and delivery of its transport operations; and iii) create better access to employment opportunities for female candidates and staff, improve their workplace advancement into and raise the number of women employed in the sector at all levels. The Consultant will produce the Gender Equality in Transport Study, and help the GoS incorporate the key findings and recommendations into the development of the Transport Strategy of the Republic of Serbia, and its Action Plan planned for 2019. 4. The Assignment will be funded by the Government of Serbia. In this assignment the Consultant will work closely with and report to the CBGE and the MCTI. The World Bank works with its counterparts to support the promotion of gender equality through its projects and policy dialogue activities. The Bank will be providing advisory support 3/20 to the CBGE and the MCTI to ensure that the study methodology is sound, and the findings are informed by international good practices. 5. The benefits of this Assignment are expected to be notable as the findings will be incorporated into the Transport Strategy of Serbia, which the Government will be preparing in 2019. Also, as there are no other studies of similar scope and nature in the Western Balkans, the findings will be of great benefit for the region and beyond. I. A. Gender Equality and Transport – Key Issues 6. Although transport sector projects may at first appear to benefit everyone equally, women and men experiences with transport systems differ, particularly when related to their safety, personal security, reliability, affordability and accessibility. For example, sexual harassment in public transport can curtail women’s mobility and employability and can reduce their earning options. Harassment while walking down the street or travelling on a bus or train is often exacerbated by the inadequate lighting, inadequate carriages or lack of suitably trained security personnel. As the experience across the world shows, lack of safe transport options

Sledeći činilac koji koči privredni of law. The gap in education achievement also hinders Serbia’s long-term rast su niske investicije, ali pokazujemo da su i one, naročito privatne, growth. We asses that Serbia is currently growing 2 percentage points nedovoljne dobrim delom usled slabe vladavine prava i korupcije. Najzad, below its potential: above 3% instead of around 5%. Roughly one half nedostaci obrazovnog sistema su takođe faktor koji usporava rast privrede of the growth gap could be explained by underperforming institutions Srbije.

  • Chapter 1 Background of the Project
    CHAPTER 1 BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT CHAPTER 1 BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT 1.1 Background of the Project While supporting countries organized by 24 leading developed nations in the world made the decision that the former Yugoslavia would be a subject country for assistance in July, 1990, they decided to suspend economic cooperation in November, 1991 in view of the subsequent developments in Yugoslavia. Japan also suspended its aid except for that through international organizations and grassroots grant aid cooperation provided from a humanitarian viewpoint. The present Project forms part of the components of the grant aid cooperation totaling US$ 50 million which Japan pledged at the international donor conference to assist Yugoslavia held in June, 2000. Although the Public Transport Company “Belgrade” (hereinafter referred to as GSP Belgrade), the implementation body for the Project, did not suffer any direct damage due to the bombing campaign of the NATO in 1999, it is finding the procurement of new buses, spare parts and repair equipment, etc. extremely difficult because of its financial difficulties caused by the economic sanctions since 1992. Major public transportation systems of Belgrade consist of buses, street cars and trolley buses. Although, because bus transportation runs 87% of total operating length of public transportation systems, it holds 75 % of numbers of the passengers transportation, and, more over, it’s service network covers whole area of the city, it is positioned as the only public transportation in Belgrade. The number of operable buses has decreased by more than 50%, from 913 in 1991 to 417 in 2001. Moreover, the buses currently in service are experiencing considerable deterioration, making public transportation in Belgrade near breaking point.

In this study, a research of injuries of passengers in city buses is presented, which are not a consequence of colli- sion of buses with other objects. The number of injured passengers in the territory of Belgrade was registered, during three consecutive years. Most frequently injured body part was the head, while women over the age of 60 are the most vulnerable population of passengers. The most often reason for the appearance of injuries was the effect of acceleration. Also, it is pointed out to the importance of consideration of the problem of multiple injuries. These injuries are more complex than the individual ones, and they may indicate to the existence of greater omissions in the design of the interior of the bus. Proposals for certain system solutions, as well as some recommendations for designing are given, which can improve the safety of passengers who use the city bus as a means of transportation. Keywords: city bus transport, passenger injuries, bus interior design 1. Introduction senger injuries is the result of effects of non-collision factor, i.e. when the bus does not hit another object.

With the technological ad- vances, this issue was given a completely new perspective, due to increased possibilities for both use and mis- use. Personal data have become a very valuable resource for different organizations worldwide in various sectors. However, regardless the efforts and constant legislation processes, personal data protection has still not been adequately managed, especially in developing countries such as Serbia. The motivation for this re- search was the big leak of personal data collected by the Serbian Privatisation Agency that occurred in 2014. During the research we analyzed legal, organizational and technical aspects of personal data management in six public institutions that are the largest personal data processors in Serbia. In this paper we provide the overview of the current situation and the recommendations for policy makers related to personal data protec- tion in Serbia with a focus on the public sector. Keywords: Data protection, personal data, privacy, public administration, public sector management, orga- nizational measures, IT security 1. Introduction Personal data represent an important currency in the new millennium (Schwartz, 2004, Krivokapić 2016.) and are a global issue today (Long & Quek, 2002). The notion of data protection originated in Europe and is now widely accepted throughout the world.
