The ECMI Civil Society Project in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) aims to assist local actors in assuming responsibility for democratic governance in BiH. Local actors are being involved in a process of reviewing existing policy on practical issues of concern to all communities in BiH, and of developing specific policy recommendations and grassroots initiatives to further the development of civil society and post-conflict reconstruction within the framework set out by the Dayton Peace Accords (DPA).
Educational reform efforts have been recommended, developed and implemented in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) by various small and large organizations for several years. One significant initiative was the Shared Modernization Strategy implemented by the European Commission in 2001 and 2002, which sought to integrate local actors and experts in the reform and modernization process. In the summer of 2002, a broader, widely supported, coordinated and dedicated reform effort was initiated by the OSCE, which raised the profile of the issue of education as a key element of peace building, economic growth and post-war reconstruction.
