The SDGs Framework in Bosnia and Herzegovina

The SDGs Framework in Bosnia and Herzegovina is the backbone of the implementation of the Agenda 2030 in the country. It is a joint document of governments at all levels which defines broader development directions, through which the governments at all levels and the society in Bosnia and Herzegovina strive to contribute to accomplishment of the SDGs. At the time being, it is the only development document adopted at all levels of government in BiH.

Based on the situation analysis with regard to sustainable development in BiH, that is, the key development trends, opportunities and obstacles, particularly within the context of BiH’s accession to the European Union and extensive consultations held with representatives from institutions at all levels of government and socio-economic stakeholders from 2018-2019 three pathways of sustainable development in Bosnia and Herzegovina were determined. Within each of the development pathways the accelerators and drivers are defined which have to lead to the desired changes by 2030.
