Kurzbeschreibung (Englisch)

Projects supports community-led local development and revitalising community governance through local communities (mjesne zajednice - the smallest administrative unit for direct government engagement with citizens in Bosnia and Herzegovina). The central theme is the empowerment of local communities, with changes at both the system level and behavioural level. In order to answer the challenging context and expectations, the Project established a cross sector team of local partners and created its own theory of change (ToC) to guide the change process. The Project aims to create conducive environment that enables pro-active engagement of local communities in gender-responsive decision-making and community-led local development as well as to motivate higher government authorities to take responsibility and act in response to increased citizens demand for an improved regulatory framework. The Project has been implemented in 41 LGs and 199 local communities. The Project is supported by Governments of Switzerland, Sweden, Bosnia and Herzegovina and UNDP.
