On 27 February, the OSCE Mission to Montenegro delivered advanced training course complimented with mentoring to participants coming from 10 ministries on how to implement the guidelines for gender-responsive budgeting and reporting, developed in 2022 with the Mission’s support.

Around 20 participants from the ministries of internal affairs, culture and media, economic development and tourism, ecology and spatial planning, justice, defence, education, labour and social welfare, public administration and agriculture, forestry and water management discussed how to conduct a gender analysis, and develop indicators specific for men or women and reporting.

Integrating a gender perspective into the preparation, implementation, and evaluation of public policies is a key strategy to promote women, decrease gender gaps and combat discrimination and inequalities.

The Mission-engaged consultant on gender responsive budgeting, Nataša Obradović, explained that this workshop emphasised the need to apply an integrated gender perspective in the entire budget cycle. “This approach requires planning be linked with budget execution. At the same time, budget users need to monitor and report on whether the programmes achieved the set goals, and whether the planned funds are spent efficiently and effectively in order to improve gender equality through the budget process,” said Obradović.

The Ministry of Finance launched a dialogue on gender responsive budgeting in 2021 with the support of the Mission and the Secretariat of the Competitiveness Council (SCC). The Mission assisted the Ministry to introduce gender indicators in the budget management information system within the budgeting reform programme. It will continue to support government institutions in developing their capacities to apply newly developed knowledge and use the guidelines on budget assessment and reporting.

Governing the Interlinkages between the SDGs: Approaches, Opportunities and Challenges identifies the institutional processes, governance mechanisms and policy mixes that are conducive to devising strategies of integrated Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) implementation. The book edited by Anita Breuer, Daniele Malerba, Srinivasa Srigiri and Pooja Balasubramanian examines the dedicated policies targeting the SDGs, as well as political and institutional drivers of synergies and trade-offs between the SDGs in selected key areas – both cross-nationally and in specific country contexts. Their analysis moves beyond the focus on links between SDG indicators and targets. Instead, the book takes advantage of recent evidence from the initial implementation phase of the SDGs　and each chapter explores the question of which political-institutional prerequisites, governance mechanisms and policy instruments are suited to accelerate the implementation of the SDGs. The findings presented are intended to both inform high-level policy debates and to provide orientation for practitioners working on development cooperation. This volume will be of great interest to practitioners and policy makers in the field of sustainable development, as well as academics in the fields of sustainability research, political science, and economics.

Der Jahresbericht 2021/22 bietet ausgewählte Einblicke in Forschung, Politikberatung und Ausbildung des Instituts. Dabei reflektieren Expert*innen des IDOS die Vernetzung der Themenfelder „Nachhaltigkeit“ und „Entwicklung“, die sich seit der Umbenennung des Instituts im neuen Namen German Institute of Development and Sustainability wiederfinden und die stärkere Ausrichtung des Instituts auf nachhaltige Entwicklungsprozesse zum Ausdruck bringen. Die thematischen Kapitel befassen sich vor dem Hintergrund der „Zeitenwende“ mit Fragen zu Autokratisierung, Multilateralismus, Welternährung, Loss and Damage, Wissenskooperationen und Think-Tank-Netzwerken sowie mit der Rolle und dem Verständnis von Wissenschaft im Zeichen nachhaltiger Entwicklung. Ebenfalls finden Sie im Bericht den finanziellen Jahresabschluss 2021 sowie Übersichten über Publikationen und Veranstaltungen des Instituts.

The Annual Report 2021/22 offers selected insights into research, policy advice and training at IDOS. In doing so, IDOS’ experts reflect on the interconnectedness of the thematic fields of "sustainability" and "development", which have been reflected in the new name German Institute of Development and Sustainability since the Institute's name change and express IDOS' stronger focus on sustainable development processes.The thematic chapters of the Annual Report deal with questions of autocratization, multilateralism, world nutrition, loss and damage, knowledge cooperation and think tank networks as well as with the role and understanding of science in the context of sustainable development. Also included are the 2021 financial statements and overviews of the Institute's publications and events.

Using the political economy analysis, we tried to understand the dynamics of the real estate development project in Al-Haidariya neighborhood (Aleppo city). We explored the structural and contextual constants that frame the economic and political developments and the interaction between economic interests and political authority embodied in formal and informal institutions. The study had two concerns: scientific and policy. On the scientific side, the study tried to enrich the political-economy approach by applying it to real estate development in the context of conflict that has not been done previously. On the policy side, the study attempted to explore the possibility of recommending specific interventions by interested parties. The qualitative data was collected through semi-structured interviews with 10 experts. The findings of the study indicated that the basic logic of the political economy of the regime is what governs the project on the ground. The regime sacrifices economic efficiency and healthy reconstruction for the sake of the continuity in power, and promotes the interests of those affiliated with it at the expense of the interests of the majority of the neighborhood’s residents. Accordingly, some suggestions were proposed to help mitigate the negative effects of the project.

Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) simultaneously, will require an integrated implementation of the 2030 Agenda and increased policy coherence. In response to the challenges, in recent years a growing body of literature has proposed a variety of methods and tools to identify and assess interlinkages between the SDGs, both globally and in individual country contexts. With regards to political-institutional preconditions, it is assumed that factors such as regime type, the quality of governance and state capacity influence governance for SDG implementation. Debates about good governance have been decisively shaped by intergovernmental organizations in the context of development cooperation. The evolution of governance mechanisms thus depends on the broader social, political, and institutional context in a society. Characteristics of policy mixes include the consistency of their elements and the coherence of processes. The chapter also presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in this book.
