Project for Improving Performance of Local Services in Bosnia and Herzegovina (PIPLS)
The Project aim is to improve access to critical public services through better governance and greater investment in local infrastructure, with the former effectively and sustainably enabling the latter.
This outcome will be pursued through three interlinked and mutually reinforcing results taking place across 18 local and 2 cantonal governments.
The main activities are:
- Develop and administer an in-depth survey of asset management practices;
- Support implementation of key strategic municipal asset management practices across all partner governments;
- Enable dialogue between practitioners and policy makers;
- Improve revenue and expenditure management capacities;
- Introduce a system of stringent internal controls and local public procurement capacities;
- Select and implement priority infrastructure interventions.
Expected results:
- Partner local governments improve service delivery through better management of the municipal asset portfolio
- Partner local and cantonal governments practice smart revenue and expenditure management, including through enhanced internal control and public procurement capacities.
- Public service infrastructure in partner local communities upgraded.
