Federation Adopts Framework for Financing Civil Society – EU

The Federation government and an association of local governments within the Federation have adopted a set of procedures that, if implemented correctly, would ensure a more transparent system of disbursing funds from Federation and local government agencies to civil society organizations.

These activities are one of the components of an EU funded project “Reinforcement of Local Democracy III – LOD III”. Ambassador Peter Sorensen, Head of the EU Delegation to BiH and EU Special Representative has also supported the implementation of this Methodology.

FBiH Ministries of Justice and Finances have been appointed to monitor implementation of the Decision.
