Project components

The IDA project identified important elements specific for the context of BiH, that would need to be considered in the transition from fossil fuels to low-carbon economy, in order to ensure that it does not exacerbate inequalities, but advances equality, particularly gender equality.

In cooperation with the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Relations of BiH, the project worked on creating the Blueprint for Gender Responsive Just Transition for All in BiH with the focus on identifying and developing concrete actions and allocating required funds for mitigating the negative and scaling-up the positive socioeconomic impacts that the low-carbon transition may have on carbon-intensive industries, SMEs, women, youth, marginalized and vulnerable communities and groups and the overall society of BiH. The project also provided financing towards decarbonization of at least 20 SMEs in three carbon-intensive industries (power, steel and cement), accompanied by capacity-building activities for stakeholders, vulnerable groups and industry.
