This grant, offered by USAID in Bosnia and Herzegovina (USAID/BiH), is for strengthening governing institutions, systems, and processes to support the country’s Euro-Atlantic integration. Valued at $5.5 million over 44 months, its core purpose is to enhance the capacity of BiH’s State and Federation Entity governing bodies. This includes enabling them to adopt, implement, and account for more effective policies, laws, and budgets crucial for European Union accession. Additionally, the project aims to increase citizen participation in governance, directly addressing current governance deficits and promoting accountability in line with the Foreign Assistance Framework.
