The Project LEAD aims to enhance the capacity and engagement of relevant national institutions and civil society in Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as strengthen inter-agency and cross-border collaboration to advance the implementation of the National SALW Control Strategy and the SALW Control Roadmap.
The project builds upon previous interventions and entails a series of activities that focus on inter-agency operational and strategic cooperation, as well as provision of specialized resources, equipment and knowledge and peer-exchange to prevent and counter FAE-related crime, violence, and misuse. An inclusive approach to civil society organizations and outreach to communities and stakeholders will be ensured, with duly integrated gender and human rights perspectives. The expected result is a comprehensive strengthening of key stakeholders and a more gender and age responsive engagement in the SALW control field.
The project contributes to Roadmap Goals 2, 3, 4 and 5 and key performance indicators 2, 3, 4, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 of the Roadmap for a sustainable solution to the illegal possession, misuse and trafficking of SALW their ammunition and explosives in the Western Balkans by 2030.
