Five local communities in the City of Zenica received today sets of computer equipment within the project "Strengthening the role of local communities in B&H", which is a joint project of the governments of Switzerland and Sweden and implemented by the United Nations Development Program in Bosnia and Herzegovina (UNDP B&H).
The equipment was given to the local communities of Briznik, Donje Babino, Gorica, Janjići and Stranjani, and the total value of this equipment is 18,818.28 KM, of which the donors provided 15,600 KM, and the City of Zenica 3,218.00 KM.
- The City of Zenica has very good cooperation with UNDP. We have been cooperating for years. The city supports them and co-finances all the projects they work on. We completed six of them last year, and now they have elected five new local communities. The City of Zenica will, for 2022, co-finance projects with 110,000 KM, which will be selected by the citizens of these five local communities, as their priorities. The rest, but for now I do not know in what amount, will be co-financed by UNDP - announced the Mayor of Zenica, Fuad Kasumović.
The UNDP, he notes, will also lead citizens' assemblies to define needs and select projects for joint implementation in local communities.
