The GOP Project was launched in 2005 at the initiative of central institutions of the Government and represents a component of a wider program of reforming the planning, budgeting, monitoring and reporting systems of the Government.

The aim of the project is to establish functional objective-oriented planning and budgeting systems and the results-based monitoring and reporting systems in all line ministries of the Republic of Serbia by the end of 2008.

The project is financed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Norway .

The following institutions participated in the Project in the previous two years: the Deputy Prime Minister's Poverty Reduction Strategy Implementation Focal Point, Serbian European Integration Office, Ministry of International Economic Relations, Ministry of Finance, General Secretariat of the Government, Ministry of Public Administration and Local Self-Government and 6 line ministries.

After the Government was constituted in 2007, certain ministries underwent the process of restructuring. The project envisages the continuation of work with all line ministries that have been involved in the project thus far, irrespective of their current structure, as well as the involvement of new ministries.

The Deputy Prime Minister is in charge of the Project management, and the Central Project Team, which is positioned in the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister, is in charge of operational functioning of the project.
