Nezaposlenost, loš kvalitet javnih usluga, korupcija te nepovoljno poslovno okruženje samo su neki od brojnih izazova sa kojima se Bosna i Hercegovina suočava. Ipak, u posljednjih nekoliko godina, odgovorniji pristup jednog broja lokalnih vlasti doveo je do značajnog poboljšanja kvalitete života stanovništva.
Napredak je dobrim dijelom ostvaren kroz projekat Lokalni integrisani razvoj, inicijativu koju u vrijednosti od 12 miliona KM finansira Evropska unija a realizuje Razvojni program Ujedinjenih nacija (UNDP) u saradnji sa 21 lokalnom zajednicom. Rezultati su vidljivi kroz nova radna mjesta, efikasniji rad lokalne samouprave, te kvalitetniju komunalnu infrastrukturu.

Shumail, 85 is the president of the WCO ‘Sardar Nabi Bux1’ Panjpai. When asked how has RAHA changed her life she said, ‘RAHA has made me realize the importance the women in a society. I got the chance to travel to Islamabad for a conference too. It was the most memorable trip of my life. I realized the importance of education consequently we worked on our local schools. The toilet and water tank that we have built has benefitted us the most. Previously women spent their entire days traveling to a nearby spring to bring water, which was not even that clean. Now they have it at their doorstep. We have more time to work on more important things in life.’
