The Strategy encompasses economic and social aspects, as well as aspects of protecting and improving the environment and space. It was developed as a framework for defining common goals, encouragement of local forces, but also as a response to the challenges of the future development of the Canton and all life in it. As such, the Tuzla Canton Development Strategy is in line with strategies and politics at higher levels of government, primarily with the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina Development Strategy for the period of 2010-2020, but also with other sector strategies at higher levels of authority in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Tuzla Canton Development Strategy for the period of 2016-2020 was developed by the Cantonal Development Committee, that was appointed by the Government of Tuzla Canton, with the support of the Partnership Group as a wider consultative body. The Strategy represents a basis for the development of detailed plans and programmes in certain sectors, creates the basis for monitoring progress and encourages the cooperation and agreement in the planning of different levels of authority and socio-economic partners. The Strategy was developed within the Integrated Local Development Project (ILDP), which is a joint initiative of the Government of Switzerland and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), and is implemented in cooperation with the Ministry of Human Rights and Refugees of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Federal Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Public Administration and Local Self-Government of Republic of Srpska and federations of municipalities and cities in both entities. The vision of development, and strategic goals of the development of the Canton are definied for the period of 5 years. VISION: “Tuzla Canton – open, economically attractive and socially dynamic European region, which ensures the distinctive blend of industrial tradition, sustainable development and quality of life for its citizens and people who live, work and invest in it.“ This vision will be achieved through the achievement of key development goals: 1. To ensure the stability and prosperity of economic development of the Tuzla Canton; 2. To establish the efficient system of managing the development of human resources and labour market; 3. To improve the quality of life, safety and social inclusion of citizens and make social protection policy fair and effective; 4. To modernise and make economically sustainable public infrastructure, primarily transport, water and energetic; 5. To establish a functional system of environmental protection and sustainable management of natural resources. Acknowledging that setting goals invloves not only answers to questions “what“, but also “how“, and that the answer to this question is of crucial importance for quality implementation of the Strategy, the Cantonal Development Committee has developed an application framework and a three-year operational/action plan of implementation that the Cantonal Governement will adopt every year and that together with other annexes respresents an integrated part of the Strategy. It is important to emphasise that the Strategy includes a list of priority measures in each sector, and which enable the achievement of the set goals through the implementation of operational activities, thereby creating the basis for the overall implementation of the Strategy. The financial framework for 4 the implementation of the Strategy has been aligned with the capabilities of the budget and the available sources of financing for the period up to 2020. A prerequisite quality and timely implementation of the Strategy is the recognition of its importance by the overall local community and higher levels of authority, but also the establishment of the Strategy foreseen mechanisms for its implementation, reporting, updating and overall operationalisation, and which is the task facing the Tuzla Canton in the future. 5 The methodology of strategy design The standardised methodology for planning the development of cantons in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina was used for development of the strategy of the Tuzla Canton. The methodology defines principles of planning the development of cantons; scope, minimal integrative elements and timeframe of strategies of development of cantons; processes and key stages of development, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of startegic documents. The purpose of the methodology is systematisation and operationalisation of strategic planning on the cantonal level where cantonal administration is the bearer of the process of the development and implementation of the strategy, with the maximum involvement of all other actors of life in the local community. Guiding principles on which the Tuzla Canton Development Strategy
