II. Organizational Context

The accession to the EU will constitute a tremendous opportunity for BiH to rapidly and drastically raise its levels of human development. In recognition of this, it is a policy of UNDP to support accession processes in the entire Balkan region. UNDP also stresses the need to ensure that the benefits derived from EU integration reach the poorest and most disadvantaged segments of society. This can only take place by strengthening local governance processes and institutions so that policies and resources adequately address priority needs identified with the participation of all the concerned actors. This additionally requires partnership building between municipal authorities and private and civil society actors. Strengthening public private partnerships as well as civil society engagement is particularly imperative, since it will be a requirement for absorbing future EC funding.

Over the last ten years, the UNDP Mission in BiH has gained significant experience in mobilizing local communities and involving them in the entire project cycles, i.e. design and implementation of projects. It had developed a close working relationship with various partners in BiH, including government representatives, NGOs, and business sector representatives.

UNDP’s local governance activities focus on strengthening capacities for democratic governance and social inclusion. It aims to ensure an enabling environment for social inclusion via creating of linkages between the activities aimed at strengthening local governance and those fostering local economic development. It promotes an integrated and participatory approach to local policy design and service delivery with a strong emphasis on “on the job” training for local capacity development.

 

UNDP’s response to local governance challenges includes a number of different programmes presently implemented in over 40 municipalities throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H).

 

In 2007/ 2008, the UNDP local governance portfolio has been undergoing an intensive programming phase, which resulted in the setting up of a cluster of new local governance initiatives.

 

While UNDP will continue to focus on institutional capacity building (strategic planning, project management, resource management and municipal training support) at the local level, relevant UNDP local governance initiatives have been clustered under a joint programme and management structure, with the aim to create better synergies between projects, as well as with a view to intensify UNDPs efforts to upscale its broad grassroots experience to the overall B&H policy level.

 

The following multiyear interventions of the UNDP local governance portfolio form core pillars of the new joint programme: (1) a project targeting a Training System for Local Government in B&H (MTS – Municipal Training System Project) is designed to contribute to the professionalism of local public employees and the sustainability of local capacity development in BiH; (2) the Integrated Local Development Programme (ILDP) aims at fostering a B&H wide approach of integrated, socially inclusive local development planning, building and expanding from the RMAP (Rights Based Municipal Development Programme) and other similar experience in BiH and the region with social inclusion as the overriding goal; (3) a third programme (LOD – Strengthening of local democracy) will focus on strengthening and institutionalising cooperation between Municipalities and CSOs with regard to local service delivery and project implementation.

I.  Position Information

II. Organizational Context

In December 2006, UNDP and the Government of Spain signed a long-term agreement to establish a new fund to accelerate efforts to reach the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), and to support UN reform efforts at the country level. The Spanish Government has committed €528 million to the MDG Achievement Fund (MDG-F), to be programmed between 2007 and end-2010. The Fund operates through the UN development system and finances, typically, collaborative UN activities that leverage the clear value-added of the UN in the sector and country concerned, particularly where the UN’s collective strength is harnessed in order to address multi-dimensional development challenges. Fifty-seven countries were eligible to apply for assistance from the Fund, and Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) is one of them.

The MDG-F (www.undp.org/mdgf) is intervening in a number of thematic areas, including democratic governance, gender equality and women’s empowerment, basic social services, economic and private sector development, environment and climate change, culture and development, and conflict prevention and peace building. Specifically, the funding window for intervention in the thematic area of culture and development seeks to support countries in the design, implementation and evaluation of effective public policies that promote social and cultural inclusion, and facilitate political participation and the protection of rights. The Fund also seeks to support efforts to promote cultural and creative industries and to generate the data and information necessary for the effective formulation and monitoring of policies on diversity, culture and development.

The UN Country Team in BiH (UNCT), represented by UNDP, UNESCO and UNICEF, under the leadership of Resident Coordinator, submitted a proposal for a programme titled: “Improving Cultural Understanding in Bosnia and Herzegovina”. This joint programme proposal recently received final approval, with an award in the amount of US$8.0 million.

The planned intervention contains four outcomes that will work in a mutually supportive manner to improve cross-cultural understanding, enhance inter-ethnic tolerance and maximize the economic benefits of cultural industry development. The proposed initiatives will, in turn, contribute to the achievement of MDGs 1, 2, 3 and 8. The four outcomes have been selected to correspond with the BiH Government’s priority areas. These outcomes have been designed to build the capacity of different key actors in BiH’s cultural development context, recognizing their specific roles and comparative areas of expertise.

The joint programme aims to strengthen cross-cultural understanding by

•   Developing and implementing cultural policies and legal frameworks

•   Improving cross-cultural understanding at the community level

•   Strengthening the cultural industries

•   Improving tolerance levels towards diversity.

 

Within the Joint Programme, UNDP’s activities are focused on four key areas. Activities in the first component will analyse the culture sector in BiH and will work towards the harmonization of cultural data collection in BiH. The information gathered will feed into supporting the government in the preparation of a National Cultural Development Strategy (in collaboration with UNESCO). These activities focus on strengthening the capacity of government in agenda-setting and policy development for culture. Activities in the second component focus on improving cross-cultural understanding at the local level through supporting a series of community-based, intangible cultural projects. The activities in this outcome are intended to deliver positive cross-cultural messages in the interest of increasing respect, understanding and tolerance. Within the third component, UNDP’s activities aim to promote cultural tourism, with a particular emphasis on engaging the private sector in its role as a driver of growth and economic inclusion. Finally, activities in the fourth component aim to stimulate the production of more inclusive messages in the media, by encouraging public awareness, discourse and debate on BiH’s uniqueness as a complement to consensus-building carried out through participatory processes. Here, the activities also intend to improve the capacity of media providers to deliver messages in a culturally sensitive manner. UNDP’s activities, within the Joint Programme, have been designed to be mutually supportive; to complement the activities of the other participating agencies, and to contribute to the overall outcomes of the joint programme.
