  1. WHY REFORM COULD FAIL - HOW TO MAKE IT WORK IN BiH? Assessing ‘Commitment’ for PAR in BiH and implications for UNDP

  2. WHY REFORM COULD FAIL - HOW TO MAKE IT WORK IN BiH? Defining ‘commitment’ (and other conditions for success) • Voluntary • Explicit • Challenging • Public • Irrevocable • Political • Administrative • Strategy • Development coordination

  3. WHY REFORM COULD FAIL - HOW TO MAKE IT WORK IN BiH? Current conditions in BiH: • Political Capacity • Power-base - party ‘Heads’ not Representatives • Limited personal consequences • No responsibility for funding • Administrative capacity • Collective responsibility / competing demands • Limited capacity (technical / managerial) • Strategy • Timetable not strategy (no challenge/benefits) • Aspirational rather than feasible (no process) • Development coordination • Ad hoc/ supply driven / not sustainable

  4. WHY REFORM COULD FAIL - HOW TO MAKE IT WORK IN BiH? UNDP PAR activities in BiH: • CSTC • Relevance • Quality • Nat. capacity • Sustainability • IGTF - PAR • Approach (OHR) • Sub-pledge W/G • Focus (EC reviews) • Nat. capacity • FBiH - CSLaw • Strategy • Work plan • Agency design • Competence • IC support

  5. WHY REFORM COULD FAIL - HOW TO MAKE IT WORK IN BiH? UNDP vulnerability & positive response • Political obstruction - and lack of will • Institutional arrangements - fragmented • Counterparts not decision-makers • Activity before commitment - UNDP concessions • Technical rationale rather than political leverage • Bottom up approach to building ownership • Positive response? • C/Office ‘Strategy for Commitment’ - real issue • Engage the decision-makers not the ‘Hired Help’
