Total project value: 9,990 USD

The project “Combating the Abuse of Public Resources through Strengthening Civil Service Capacities” aims to help civil servants recognize their role and importance in preventing the misuse of state resources, as well as to strengthen their capacity to identify and report potential abuses of state resources. This will be achieved through tailored capacity building trainings for civil servants, which will help them better understand the framework for the misuse of public resources, international standards and good practices in preventing the misuse of public resources.

Specific objectives of the project:

• Training of civil servants in BiH on preventing the misuse of public resources
• Encouraging dialogue among civil servants on the misuse of public resources, both at the local and higher levels.
• Identifying change agents and encouraging them to lead to system change

Activities

Activities planned within the project include:

• Upgrading the previously developed curriculum and training program for civil servants, which is available in B / C / S and English. This also includes the development of pre- and post-training tests, as well as an evaluation questionnaire.
• Development of guidelines on whistleblower protection mechanisms and selection of participants.
• Conducting six one-day online trainings and one live training for civil servants, selected in partnership with civil service institutions at all levels.
• Preparation of the final report and analysis of the training series.
