Project Description
The project provides programmatic assistance to Bosnia and Herzegovina,
working with selected governments at all four levels: national, entity,
cantonal, and municipal. It provides critical regulatory and investment
promotion tools to help the country in its EU accession process and to
reduce the administrative burden to businesses, attract foreign direct
investment (FDI), increase exports, and enable a single economic space.
Agribusiness is a key sectoral focus of the project. Specific objectives
are to: 1) streamline and simplify business administration procedures; 2)
implement and strengthen the regulatory quality system; 3) reduce the
administrative burden; 4) develop and implement a sector-specific
investment strategy; 5) review and improve the existing FDI law and
policies; and 6) increase the degree of harmonization of food safety
regulation.
