This publication was created within the project “Creating a Framework for Inclusive and Effective Local Development in BiH” which was implemented by the Eda Banja Luka Development Agency with the support of the Open Society Fund BiH. The project contributes to a significant improvement of the normative, methodological and managerial-organizational framework for supporting responsible and proactive management of local development in BiH.

The publication discusses local development financing mainly from the perspective of municipal development planners who are faced with the problem of lacking resources needed for the effective implementation of development plans and meeting the growing needs of citizens on a daily basis. It first provides a menu of possible sources of financing, and then concisely discusses various models of public-private partnership as the most interesting, but in domestic practice the least researched way of financing local development.

Using examples and experiences of good, but also bad development projects from BiH and the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, the study seeks to show that financing is not a routine matter and that quality planning, as well as pragmatic solutions and innovative responses to the problems and challenges of local development, are the decisive factor that separates the successful from the unsuccessful. This is also confirmed through financial planning and implementation of operational plans for local development presented through examples from domestic practice in the final section.

Finansiranje lokalnog razvoja

Ova publikacija je nastala u okviru projekta „Stvaranje okvira za obuhvatan i efektivan lokalni razvoj u BiH“ koji je uz podršku Fonda otvoreno društvo BiH implementirala razvojna agencija Eda Banja Luka. Projekat daje doprinos bitnom unapređenju normativnog, metodološkog i upravljačko-organizacionog okvira za podršku odgovornom i proaktivnom upravljanju lokalnim razvojem u BiH.

Publikacija govori o finansiranju lokalnog razvoja ponajviše iz ugla opštinskih razvojnih planera koji se svakodnevno susreću sa problemom nedostajućih resursa potrebnih za djelotvornu realizaciju razvojnih planova i zadovoljenje rastućih potreba građana. Ona najprije daje meni mogućih izvora finansiranja, a potom jezgrovito obrađuje različite modele javno-privatnog partnerstva kao najinteresantnijeg, ali u domaćoj praksi i ponajmanje istraženog načina finansiranja lokalnog razvoja.

Na primjerima i iskustvima dobrih, ali i loših razvojnih projekata iz BiH i zemalja srednje i istočne Evrope, studija nastoji pokazati da finansiranje nije rutinska stvar i da su kvalitetno planiranje, ali i pragmatična rješenja i inovativni odgovori na probleme i izazove lokalnog razvoja presudan faktor koji odvaja uspješne od neuspješnih. Ovo se potvrđuje i kroz finansijsko planiranje i implementaciju operativnih planova lokalnog razvoja predstavljene na primjerima iz domaće prakse u završnom dijelu.
