Background
The UNDP’s Social Inclusion/Democratic Governance Sector aims to decisively promote social inclusion and empower the most vulnerable, as well as to enhance access to social and economic benefits to marginalised people and communities through specifically tailored sector initiatives and other UNDP sectors’ programmes, fully utilizing CO knowledge and experiences.
Within that sector is the Strengthening the Role of Local Communities (Mjesne Zajednice/MZs) Project, which is a joint initiative of the Government of Switzerland and the Government of Sweden, implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) in partnership with the Ministry for Human Rights and Refugees of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Ministry of Justice of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Ministry for Administration and Local Self-Government of Republika Srpska, the Government of Brčko District and both Associations of Municipalities and Cities.
The Project is geared towards strengthening local communities (MZs) and will empower women and include the marginalized groups into economic, social and political mainstream. The overall Project objective is to contribute to better quality of life of BiH citizens through increased democratic participation and accountability, enhanced local services and infrastructure and social inclusion. The chosen means to achieve this goal is through encouraging community-led local development and revitalising community government by MZs, as the places where government comes closest to the people and as grass-roots organisations that serve communities of around 1,000 people, with the possibility for real participation and joint action. The three specific Project outcomes are:
Outcome 1: Citizens and governments are committed to realise the jointly agreed upon new inclusive and gender-sensitive vision of MZs in BiH, as foundation for more participatory and accountable local governance in BiH. This project outcome will seek out examples of best practice in MZs in the region, finding the legal and institutional structures that work and the inspirational examples that show people what can be achieved.
Outcome 2: Pro-active, capacitated and inter-connected MZs contribute to downward responsiveness of local governments and improved service delivery. This project outcome will work directly with the leaders and communities that make up MZs, and with the LG officials and administration who are ultimately responsible for most of the public services. It will strengthen leadership, improve organisation, systems and the regulatory framework at the local level, and provide MZs with the tools they need to engage the community, involve women, include the most vulnerable, take joint decisions and put their ideas into effect. It will explore models for local democracy and community participation, building on successful experience and helping communities to find solutions that work for their individual circumstances and needs, tailored to the reality of their leadership aspirations and the local will for community involvement. It will also build capacity in specific areas such as education, health care and social services so that people understand how decisions are made, budgets set and resources allocated, and thus enable them to participate in the process and direct it towards their real needs. Finally, it will support communities to plan and prioritise their own time and resources and to initiate projects that matter to them, with co-financing from the project to help turn strategy into reality.
Outcome 3: A new regulatory framework for functional MZs developed by governments enables more inclusive, gender-sensitive and accountable local governance in BiH. Having analysed carefully how MZs can work best and developed a common vision of the new role they can play in BiH (outcome 1), and worked with MZs, LGs and their communities in translating these ideas into practice (outcome 2), the project will be able to propose a strong legal basis for all MZs in the country to function more effectively. In that light, the third outcome comes to create a new legal structure that fits with the vision across all tiers of government, to create an environment where MZs can become effective and democratic channels for citizens to participate in their own governance.
Whilst the focus of this outcome will be on preparing concrete MZ-related legislative proposals for renewal of entity/BD/LG relevant legal frameworks, it will also have implications on the wider local governance reform agenda and decentralisation debate.
The Project's implementing strategy will be to support and drive forward change from bottom-up by engaging citizens and communities and giving them a voice in local governance processes, and by revitalising MZs as spaces where citizens come together to interact and involve, to identify and solve problems, to transmit their concerns to the local government and participate in the ways it makes its plans, spends their money and takes decisions that affect people’s lives. In doing so, the Project places MZs and their communities at the centre of its work, while also relying on a broad range of relevant stakeholders to sustain and expand Project results and increase democratic accountability. This approach will be capitalised upon to address the current flaws in the system, and to build momentum and drive forward the process of local governance reform to produce long term and sustainable change. To reach this goal, the Project will utilise existing legitimate local governance structures and processes to implement planned interventions, thus ensuring that improvements related to capacity of MZs and local governments, quality of service outcomes, enabling MZ-related regulatory environment and accountability of municipal decision-making processes are embedded and sustained within the system. The Project work with 142 MZs country-wide and 25 local governments and will seek to develop partnership with civil society organizations.
This position relates specifically to the Project’s work in the domain of policy dialogue and implementation of specifically designed interventions related to policy making, democratic accountability, upward and downward mechanism as elaborated in the Functions/Key Results section of this terms of reference. The employee will be based in the UNDP BiH office in Sarajevo, with regular field travels.
