Since the end of the 1992-1995 conflict, Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) has received significant development aid from a variety of international donors and multilateral agencies, as well as non-governmental organizations (NGOs). Today, international support is provided to virtually all aspects of reform, simultaneously assisting BiH with its foreseen accession to the European Union (EU), and with its transition from international supervision to full sovereignty.
Donors’ assistance has contributed significantly to BiH’s recovery and helped set the country on a path to constructive development. However, it has often been noted that the insufficient coordination within the international community and the sometimes limited levels of domestic ownership have detracted from the effectiveness of their work. This is not surprising, given the large number of actors in any given field and the disintegration of the centralized state following the war.
In recognition of these gaps, the DCF initiated a Donor Mapping Exercise (DME), which is now called Donor Mapping Report (DMR) with the aim of clarifying the funding situation in BiH and thus contributing to more coherent information sharing. The first DME was carried out in 2006 (see report here).
The DMR consists of two outputs:
the projects database, enumerating donor-financed activities in BiH;
and the corresponding 2009 Donor Mapping Report, providing an analytical overview of how these funds contribute to reforms within each sector.
Both can be found on this website.
