Summary/Abstract: The analysis of public funds for gender equality was carried out in the period from August 2024 to January 2025 as part of the project "Strengthening the transparency of funding from public sources through the analysis of phantom and GONGO associations", which is jointly implemented by Civic Initiatives, the Balkan Research Network of Serbia (BIRN) and FemPlatz. The goal of this project is to establish criteria for identifying phantom and GONGO associations in order to ensure transparent and responsible public funding, especially in the area of ​​gender equality. In the long term, the project seeks to contribute to the creation of a standard methodology that could be adopted by public administrations throughout Serbia and the Balkans. As part of the research, the FemPlatz organization conducted a desk analysis of selected projects financed through the tender of the Ministry of Family Care and Demography and the Provincial Secretariat for Social Policy, Demography and Gender Equality, as well as an analysis of budget allocations for associations in the field of gender equality in nine cities and municipalities (Pančevo, Zrenjanin, Sombor, Sremski Karlovci, Požarevac, Leskovac, Ćac, Zaječar, Užice). All findings refer to the budget periods of 2023 and 2024.
