Message from the Mission Director
Dobro Dosli (welcome).
You've reached the USAID/Bosnia-Herzegovina website. USAID is the development and relief agency of the U.S. Government. Since 1995, the U.S. Government, through USAID, has spent more than one billion dollars to support BiH's transition into a multi-ethnic, stable society with a functioning free market economy and democratic systems.
USAID supports these goals in two distinct ways. We believe that the best way to promote a free market economy is through accelerated development of the private sector. As a result, we are channeling significant resources into supporting the development of small and medium enterprises, as well as improving the general business environment by reducing the bureaucracy associated with permits and inspections, encouraging labor mobility and supporting tax reform. Our efforts to encourage a more participatory, inclusive democratic society are targeted at fostering a professional, independent judiciary, independent media, free and fair elections, a responsive and transparent government, and citizen advocacy. In addition, USAID implements a nationwide counter-trafficking campaign that targets potential risk groups such as women and children.
We at USAID are proud of the contributions we have made in collaboration with our many local and international partners. For example, our strengthening of banking supervision, funding of a nationwide deposit insurance agency and training of banks in the development of new products have given citizens the confidence to trust their earnings to a banking system that is safe and secure. Our support for One Stop Shops is helping local governments provide citizens with faster, more efficient services. Moreover, USAID's past infrastructure projects have provided electricity to approximately 1.5 million people, and increased the water supply for one million citizens, among other things.
We designed this website to meet the needs of a wide variety of people and we welcome your comments and suggestions. Please direct them to kvannett@usaid.gov. I invite you to visit this site again as we update the information frequently.
Thank you for your interest in USAID/Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Dobro dosli!
Nalazite se na web stranici misije USAID-a u Bosni i Hercegovini. USAID je agencija americke vlade za razvoj i pomoc. Od 1995. godine, americka vlada je, putem USAID-a, utrosila vise od milijarde dolara kako bi podrzala tranziciju BiH u multietnicko, stabilno drustvo sa funkcionalnom ekonomijom slobodnog trzista i demokratskim sistemom.
USAID podrzava ove ciljeve na dva razlicita nacina. Vjerujemo da je ubrzani razvoj privatnog sektora najbolji nacin da se promovira ekonomija slobodnog trzista. Zbog toga smo usmjerili znacajne resurse za podrsku razvoja malih i srednjih preduzeca kao i unapredjenje opste poslovne klime putem reduciranja birokratskih prepreka koje se odnose na izdavanje dozvola i inspekcije, podsticanjem mobilnosti radne snage i podrzavanjem poreskih reformi. Nasa nastojanja da se podstakne aktivnije i potpunije demokratsko drustvo imaju za cilj jacanje profesionalnog, nezavisnog tuzilastva, nezavisnih medija, slobodnih i fer izbora, odgovorne i transparentne vlade i bolje zastupanje gradjana. Pored toga, USAID sirom zemlje implementira anti-trafiking kampanju koja pokriva potencijalno rizicne grupe kao sto su zene i djeca.
Mi u USAID-u smo ponosni na doprinos koji smo obezbijedili u saranji sa mnogim nasim lokalnim i inostranim partnerima. Na primjer, nasa potpora jacanju bankarske supervizije, doprinos u osnivanju drzavne agencije za osiguranje depozita i obucavanje banaka u oblasti razvoja novih proizvoda dovelo je do stvaranja povjerenja gradjana da mogu povjeriti svoj novac bankaraskom sistemu koji je siguran i zasticen. Nasa podrska opstinskim salter salama omogucava lokalnim vlastima da gradjanima obezbijede brze i efikasnije usluge. Sta vise, zahvaljujuci USAID-ovim ranijim projektima za rekonstrukciju infrastrukture, obezbijedjena je, izmedju ostalog, elektricna energija za oko 1,5 milion ljudi, a snabdijevanje vodom je poboljsano za oko milion gradjana.
Kreirali smo ovu web stranicu kako bismo udovoljli potrebama sirokog spektra ljudi. Zato, pozdravljamo sve vase komentare i sugestije, koje molimo da uputite na kvannett@usaid.gov. Pozivam vas da ponovo posjetite ovu stranicu jer je redovno azuriramo.
Zahvaljujem se na vasem interesu za USAID/Bosna i Hercegovina.
