“I think that during this three-year project, the organizations used the support they received from the Government of the Czech Republic in an excellent way. By creating new and improving existing services according to their target groups in 2020, organizations remain at a much higher level than they were at the beginning of 2018, ” said Branislav Tanasijevic, project manager of CARE International Balkans.

The project Improving Social Services through the Strengthening of NGOs in BiH over the past three years has significantly contributed to the strengthening of weak social welfare, as well as access to rights and social inclusion for marginalized and most vulnerable social categories.
