SUTRA RESULTS • Clear criteria and ranking priority municipalities according to objective need indicators; • SOPs for beneficiary selection finalised as a State by-law; • Project management conducted by municipalities as per project methodology. • Establishing partnership with communities, through local NGOs, involving them in all project phases, • Producing tender dossier for house reconstruction, • Launching and evaluating tenders, • Monitoring of works, • Identifying, together with local partners, sustainability measures and organising local media events
Possible future developments • EU Accession requirements where EC will play a prominent role at the State level • UNDP has a clear role in supporting municipal development and therefore a potential partner for the EC • EU partnership will open access to other EU funds. • The European Social Fund is the one closest to “return” and could be accessed as early as 2007 • The Return Fund could be an appropriate instrument for channelling of ESF funds
SUTRA and Pre-accession processes • Encouraging more formal networking within PLAGs and possibly forming a BiH PREPARE (the pre accession partnership for rural Europe ): • The European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) • The guidance section of the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF)
Project Local Action Group Civil society organisations Local Business Associations Municipal administration (through its different departments) SUTRA – SUstainable Transfer to Return-related Authorities Municipal implementation through Local Action Group (PPP model)
High Level ISSUES • Requirement for BiH matching funds to SUTRA II (approx. 4.5 mil Euro) • Donor coordination in the sector must be ensured. UNDP could support MHRR similarly to role in BiH MAC • Compatibility with CEB loans in the sector • 8 mil Euro from CEB and 4 mil Euro from BiH • Procedures developed under SUTRA could be applied also to the CEB project
