Particular attention was also given to collect data and information for specific purposes concerning the development of the Danube Water Quality Model, the identification and evaluation of hot spots, the analysis of social and economic factors, the preparation of an investment portfolio and the development of financing mechanisms for the implementation of the ICPDR Action Plan. For the elaboration of the National Reviews, a team of national experts was recruited in each of the participating countries for a period of one to four months covering the following positions: Socio-economist with knowledge in population studies, Financial expert (preferably from the Ministry of Finance), Water Quality Data expert/information specialist, Water Engineering expert with knowledge in project development. Each of the experts had to organize his or her work under the supervision of the respective Country Programme Coordinator and with the guidance of a team of International Consultants.

  • Role of Microfinance in the Household Reconstruction Process in Bosnia and Herzegovina
    MFC Spotlight Note #6 Role of Microfinance in the Household Reconstruction Process in Bosnia and Herzegovina Michal Matul and Caroline Tsilikounas1 January 2004 INTRODUCTION This note presents summary of findings from the study conducted within Imp-Act project2 on the role of micro-enterprise lending in the household reconstruction process during 1996-2002 in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH)3. This research is one of the first of its kind to examine the impact of minimalist micro- enterprise credit on reconstruction. Additionally, because microfinance is still a young and fast learning industry, this study is meant to help engage in a debate about impact of microfinance on reconstruction. It can also contribute to putting forward some propositions to be tested in other post-conflict settings in order to widen the pool of microfinance recipients, and consequently the impact of microfinance on household reconstruction. Many organisations have introduced microfinance as part of their larger portfolio of programming activities aimed at reconstruction and revitalisation of war-torn communities in BiH. The level of international support providing political stability and basic economic security has been high as compared to the African post-war experience4. This in turn has aided the climate for sound microfinance programming and has provided a stable back-drop for their development and growth5. Given that microfinance in the specific environment of BiH during the reconstruction period (1996-2002) was limited to the provision of micro- enterprise credit, the goal of this research is to understand the role played by micro-enterprise credit in household reconstruction. An analysis of multiplier effects and impacts of microfinance at the macro-level goes much beyond the scope of this research.
