Delegation of the European Union to Bosnia and Herzegovina invites proposals for Enabling access to social services for vulnerable and socially disadvantaged groups to contribute to improvement of the social protection system at all levels of governance and to address the specific needs of vulnerable groups in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The project will aim to provide the analysis on harmonization of domestic legislation with Convention, as well as to prepare recommendations for harmonization of domestic legislation, which will be based on this analysis that is important in light of the EU project support under EIDHR instrument and other donors (such as UNDP).
This project will also provide financial support to the associations of persons with disabilities including war veterans in Bosnia and Herzegovina through grant scheme. There is a large number of associations of persons with disabilities that lack financial resources for improvement of basic facilities for their members which impede in turn their access to various services. The grants will be used for individual projects that will be implemented in local communities, with aim to improve social inclusion of persons with disabilities in all streams of social life and to ensure their networking and to strengthen their social inclusion.
