Background
The Integrated Local Development Project (ILDP) is a joint project 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 approaches at local and cantonal level and supported 40 local and 10 cantonal governments in designing and implementing their 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 consolidation phase seeks to further place efforts to scale up and consolidate knowledge and systems whose creation has been initiated back in 2008. To that end, the Project will provide assistance to a wide range of domestic partners to affirm a functional sub-national development planning and management system, which reinforces effective delivery of public policies – including those related to integration to the European Union – and thus contributes to better development results. The entity public financing mechanisms will reinforce the efforts of the system, ensuring vertical connectivity between higher government levels’ public funds and local priorities, contributing to improved local services, livelihoods and quality of life. 30 local and all 10 cantonal governments will strengthen their capacities to effectively address citizens’ needs and accelerate growth through inclusive development planning and management systems.
The Project has three main outcomes, as follows: (i) 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; (ii) Local and cantonal governments effectively address needs of citizens and accelerate growth through inclusive development planning and management; and (iii) Citizens and socio-economic partners take pro-active part in development management and benefit from improved services.
ILDP’s partners include entity institutions responsible for development planning, namely the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FBiH) Development Planning Institute and the Republika Srpska (RS) Strategic Planning and Policy Coordination Unit, all 10 cantons in the FBiH and ca 30 local governments. Other key project partners are the BiH Ministry for Human Rights and Refugees, the FBiH Ministry of Justice, the RS Ministry of Administration and Local Self-Government and both Associations of Municipalities and Cities. The project’s timeframe is 48 months (March 2017 – February 2021).
The SDGs Roll-out Support and Private Sector Engagement Project in BiH (SDG) is funded by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) and implemented by UNDP under the overall coordination of the UN Resident Coordinator’s Office. The project overall goal is to contribute to translating the Agenda 2030 into action for the benefit of all its citizens. More specifically, the project seeks to prepare the public and private sector partners for implementation of the SDGs in BiH. This Outcome is to be achieved through two outputs that are complementary but distinct in terms of the stakeholder focus. While the first output is primarily focused on preparing institutions and key stakeholders for the SDG rollout, the second output is focused on the sensitization and engagement of the private sector in SDGs, recognizing the catalytic and transformational role the private sector as a key stakeholder has in the achievement of the SDGs. The project’s timeframe is 32 months (December 2017 – July 2020).
