Initial training courses for the creation of integrity plans in BiH municipalities started

Transparency International Bosnia and Herzegovina (TI BiH) started in Kozarska Dubica (07/10/2015) and the Municipality of Centar Sarajevo (08/10/2015) the initial training course for the creation and adoption of integrity plans, i.e. anti-corruption plans aimed at the improvement of transparency and accountability in the work of additional eight units of local self-government.

This was the opportunity to present the program of the course that will be led by TI BiH experts, but also to present the project objectives and cooperation with the units of local self-government. The participants were addressed by the representatives of TI BiH and the representatives of the host municipalities and expressed their satisfaction for having been chosen as the first municipalities that will, with the help of TI BiH, be trained to make quality plans as a tool for prevention of corruption.

The units of local self-government whose representatives actively participated in the initial training course are: Istocna Ilidza, Bratunac, Centar Sarajevo, Srebrenica, Bosanska Krupa, Kozarska Dubica, Cazin and Sipovo.

All representatives of the local self-government units will be part of a one-year education program consisting of 8 modules, while at the same time, they will be working in their home governments on creation of integrity plans that will be presented to the public in late 2016.

TI BiH performs these activities in cooperation with the Agency for prevention of corruption and coordination of fight against corruption, and with the help of the Association of Local Authorities of the Republic of Srpska and Association of Municipalities and Cities of the Federation of BiH, along with the financial support provided by the Netherlands Embassy in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
