Good Governance Initiative of LDA Prijedor

The project LINK 4 Cooperation - Strengthening local participation and cooperation through partnership of Public Authorities and CSOs in Bosnia and Herzegovina promotes principles of good governance with the intent of effective and responsive performance of the local government units in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

This project will empower the capacities of local authorities (elected leaders and civil servants) and civil society in implementing participative processes. Together they will identify concrete problems of the community and find their solutions thanks to the participative approach. The project will therefore build capacities and solve problems, by consolidating the approach in the years to come.

The main target group of this project are the 40 local CSOs and grassroot organizations from Bosnia and Herzegovina and 12 Local self-government units – municipal administration and local councilors as local decision makers (Mostar, Jablanica, Nevesinje, Zavidovici, Zepce, Maglaj Prijedor, Novi Grad, Kostajnica, Trebinje, Ravno and Berkovici).

Some of the main outputs of this project will be creating stronger links to citizens by engaging in public policy process, reaching out to society as a whole including marginalized groups and grass root communities, encouraging civic activism and public participation in policy-making, as well as effective CSOs and capable, transparent and accountable LAs.

LINK 4 Cooperation - Strengthening local participation and cooperation through partnership of Public Authorities and CSOs in Bosnia and Herzegovina has been realised with the cooperation of several CSOs – LDA Zavidovici, LDA Prijedor, Centre for Development of Herzegovina Trebinje, ALDA, and the lead partner – LDA Mostar.
