Background

The purpose of the consultancy is to support the Training System institutions in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) in development of entity Training Strategies for Local Self-Government Employees and Elected Officials for the period 2016 – 2020.

To ensure the new Strategies reflect credibly the training and capacity development needs of local self-governments, and build up on the achievements from the implementation period 2011 – 2015, an independent evaluation of Training Strategies was carried out in May 2015. In parallel, a comprehensive Training Needs Assessment (TNA) covering all local self-governments (LSG) in both entities was initiated, with the final TNA reports to be available by the end of August, 2015.
