Joint Programme Disaster Risk Reduction for Sustainable Development in Bosnia and Herzegovina (JP DRR)


The authorities at all administrative levels will be supported to transform from reactive to proactive multi-sectoral disaster risk management and develop country-wide harmonized frameworks. Disaster risk reduction platforms will be set at all government levels to ensure better understanding of disaster risks and coordination of priority investments to increase resilience of vulnerable communities with a special focus on excluded population groups.

Contexto High exposure to natural hazards and disasters makes agriculture, energy, human health, infrastructure, property, people and livelihoods in Bosnia and Herzegovina highly vulnerable. Due to a complex governance structure, political instability, inadequate strategic and regulatory frameworks and lack of cooperation, the DRR system is reactive to disasters and focused on responses rather than proactive and focused on prevention. The socio-economic vulnerability remains high due to the non-existence of DRR financing mechanisms and investments in prevention measures. Municipalities are still struggling to provide adequate services to their citizens in particular to socially excluded groups and vulnerable population at the time of disasters. 
Objetivos Reducing social and economic effects of disasters and climate change for people in risk-prone areas thanks to more preventive disaster risk management system, better inter-institutional capacities, regulatory frameworks, public services and partnerships. 
Grupos destinarios The Programme will be working with a core group of ten municipalities (six best performing from Phase 1 and four new). The Programme will also work with thirteen relevant ministries at state and entity level. DRR model will be promoted throughout the whole country in cooperation with the entity Associations of Municipalities and Cities. The private sector will be engaged in formulating DRR financial risk transfer mechanisms.
Efectos a medio plazo
  1. Institutions at all levels cooperate in multi-sectoral DRR mainstreaming based on improved country-wide regulatory frameworks, including an increased emphasis on gender equality and social inclusion. 
  2. People in risk prone localities are less vulnerable due to better capacitated institutions, improved response capacities and implemented priority measures.
