Srebrenica and Neighbouring Municipalities

Donor Coordination Forum members, as well as Greece, Turkey, Pakistan, the Council of Ministers, RS and FBiH Governments, have indicated that their current (2007) and planned (2008-2010) allocations to Srebrenica and neighbouring municipalities will total € 47.9 million. These funds are divided into five sectors: Economic Development, Return, Infrastructure, Civil Society, and Public and Social Services. The Infrastructure sector continues to be the priority sector for donors, but there is also significant focus on Economic Development.

The following DCF donors are active in the Srebrenica region: Canada/CIDA, Italy/IC, Japan/JICA, Netherlands, Norway, USA/USAID, the EC, UNDP and the World Bank.

Donors’ and domestic authorities’ interventions in Srebrenica aim to increase municipal revenues so that the region becomes self-sustaining. This is done in a variety of ways, including but not limited to enhancing the pro-business environment, improving the availability of human resources and skilled labour, facilitating access to technology, and developing business support services. Recent initiatives undertaken to facilitate donor and private investment in Srebrenica have all been in support of these overarching objectives. The year 2007 has especially seen a major push for the re-profiling of Official Development Assistance (ODA) to Srebrenica.
