Sweden / Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA)
Policy approach in Bosnia and Herzegovina
The
current Swedish Cooperation Strategy for Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) came
into force in January 2006 and will be in effect for five years. The objectives
are poverty alleviation and European integration. The strategy is concentrated
primarily on two sectors: Good Governance and Institution Building,
and Economic Development. In the strategy, strengthening BiH ownership is
emphasized, with a focus on the state and municipal levels. Coordination with
other donors and international organizations is also a priority.
