Towards the SDG financing ecosystem in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Towards the SDG Financing Ecosystem in Bosnia and Herzegovina - BiH SDG Financing Ecosystem The ILO has joined forces with other UN agencies (UNDP, UN Women, UNICEF and WHO) to build an SDG Financing Ecosystem in Bosnia and Herzegovina under the Joint SDG Fund. An SDG Financing ecosystem is an ecosystem that enables the generation of additional funding to promote and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Bosnia and Herzegovina has a complex governance system whose fragmentation of policy processes makes the achievement of the SDGs more challenging than in other countries in the Western Balkans. The 2-year Joint Programme between the five different UN agencies aims to foster social dialogue and support the governments at national and sub-national levels through capacity building activities. By doing so, an SDG financing ecosystem is strengthened to mobilize additional funding for achieving the SDGs. The ILO’s mandate is reflected in SDG 8 “Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all”. Accordingly, our contribution to this Joint Programme is to build the capacities of statistical bureaus to conduct input and output (IO) analyses. These analyses help to understand labour market trends and which sectors employ most people. Once the first IO analyses are available, a labour productivity model is constructed with this information. This model helps the statistical bureaus and public employment offices to understand which sectors are the most promising sectors to create jobs in the near future.
