Norwegian Housing and Return Projects in Bosnia and Herzegovina

This study has been carried out by Lisa Kirkengen who has worked in BiH for 4 years in various capacities. She will present the study herself.

The study was initiated by the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 2005 through the NORDEM mechanism. It was made in order to obtain an overview over the Norwegian assistance provided to returning refugees and internally displaced persons in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The study also provides an assessment of the effects of this assistance. It also provides recommendations for further engagement in this field. This is not an evaluation of the projects as such, but rather a study of the sustainability and sociopolitical effects of the return projects.
Some of the Norwegian return projects have been previously evaluated, but no general overview over the Norwegian assistance in this field has previously been created.

The presentation will take place at the Norwegian Centre for Human Rights
Time: 9 November 2006 between 10.00 - 12.00.
