01.07.2012 - 30.06.2015

Addressing integrity shortcomings and corruption in the water sector, this proposal will contribute to tackle a major challenge for meeting the United Nations’ Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Discontinuity and poor quality of water services are to a great extent due to a lack of good governance. The Water Integrity Network is the lead organization addressing the issue of corruption in the water sector, at global and national level. With the addition of the country-programmes component in this second phase, this support aims to facilitate the constitution and empowerment of multi-stakeholders (international, regional, national and local; public and civil society sectors) coalitions for water integrity in at least 3 countries where Swiss development organisations are active.

Contribution to the Constitutional Reform (CR) in Bosnia & Herzegovina (BiH)

10.06.2012 - 31.03.2014

The Constitutional Reform process in BiH is a long-term oriented, culture-changing endeavor; it is notably difficult in the complex state system, with two very autonomous Entities and a rather weak Central State. However, the emergence of a new ruling coalition, in February 2012, set the basis for positive developments; politicians act with greater sense of urgency to meet the conditions for BiH’s Euro-Atlantic integration. Using this momentum, aware actors at all levels of BiH's society and the political system can be supported in their commitment to further develop and implement the Constitutional Reform as a supportive frame for sustainable development.
