Background
Integrated Local Development Project (ILDP) is a joint initiative of the Government of Switzerland and UNDP in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) launched in 2008 with the aim to harmonise integrated and inclusive strategic planning at the local level. Through its previous two phases, the ILDP made significant contribution in standardisation of planning and development management approaches at the local level and supported 40 local governments country-wide in designing and implementing their development strategies. The planning approach was then replicated at the cantonal level and all 10 cantons where assisted in designing their integrated development strategies. Furthermore, the Project helped creation of foundations for establishment of strategic planning systems at the entity level, including financing mechanisms that provide targeted support to implementation of local development priorities country-wide.
The Project’s third, 4-year consolidation phase, was launched in March 2017 and seeks to further place efforts to scale up and consolidate knowledge and systems whose creation had been initiated back in 2008. To that end, the Project will provide assistance to a wide range of domestic partners at the sub-national (entities, cantons, Brčko District) and local level to affirm a functional development planning and management as per three main outcomes:
Outcome 1: Lead planning structures at entity level steer the development planning and management systems characterised by vertical and horizontal coordination and greater accountability towards the citizens;
Outcome 2: Local and cantonal governments effectively address needs of citizens and accelerate growth through inclusive development planning and management;
Outcome 3: Citizens and socio-economic partners take pro-active part in development management and benefit from improved services.
Output 2.2., which is directly related to these Terms of Reference, comprises of activities aimed at supporting cantons to further strengthen their development planning and management systems, as per the FBiH Law on Development Planning and Management adopted in early 2017. More specifically, technical assistance and capacity development interventions will be directed to support cantons in designing or adapting relevant regulatory frameworks and establishing structures, functions and processes to enable effective implementation of their development strategies, including aligning their implementation plans with cantonal budgets and public investment programmes.
Attention will be placed on establishment and strengthening of cantonal development management units to enable them to effectively carry their functions in the overall development management system. Furthermore, the Project will work with a wide range of stakeholders at the cantonal level, including policy makers, to familiarise them with important decision-making aspects within the development planning and management cycle, as well as with the work and importance of the cantonal development management structures. In addition, the Project will seek to strengthen development partnerships at the cantonal level.
