Description
Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) has systemic and immediate needs for Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) initiatives. Climate change projections for BiH predict increase in natural disasters' frequency, unpredictability, and intensity, which could exacerbate existing political and social tensions. This project will support BiH in the European Union (EU) accession process, in its strengthening good governance as well as contribute towards realizing national priorities and international commitments on DRR, while focusing on a people-centred participatory approach to improving the safety, security, and well-being of communities in hazard-prone areas, with a focus on the most vulnerable groups. The overall objective of the proposed intervention is to contribute to strengthening the resilience and preparedness to natural and human made hazards of local communities in BiH. This project will be closely coordinated with the Ministry of Security (MoS) at the national level, entity, and district level civil protecion authorities, organizations, and groups. At the local level, OIM will work with the Civil Protection Directorate of Republika Srpska (RS), Civil Protection Administration of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FBiH), the Brčko District (BD) Public Security Department, the BiH Red Cross, the Red Cross of RS, the Red Cross of the FBiH, and the Red Cross of Brčko District, local level Red Cross societies, first responders and other volunteer and professional civil protection organizations.This project component will particularly look at involving women and girls to participate in the implementation process, in order to contribute in addressing their under representation in disaster response and DRR
