The 4th meeting of the Steering Committee for the CAMP project in Bosnia and Herzegovina gathered on 19th December 2023 in Sarajevo at the premises of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Relations to discuss and adopt the Final Project report and the results of all individual activities. The last individual activity on biodiversity conservation has been first presented by the consultants and a constructive discussion followed. Then the National Project Coordinator introduced the Final Project report to which no substantive comments were provided by the meeting and the report was adopted. The Final report and all reports of the individual activities will be submitted also to the Ministers Council for approval.
The meeting discussed the way forward and agreed that the inauguration of the proposed Inter-Ministerial Committee for ICZM, the ratification of the ICZM Protocol and the preparation of the Law on Coast and Sea are three very important activities that will enable the country to cope with challenges of coastal zone management in the future.
It was also suggested that regardless of approval procedures at the national level many of the results provided by CAMP can be easily taken on board by the Municipality of Neum and start their implementation and /or prepare project proposals to be submitted for financing by different donors. This is in particular related to the results of individual activities on sustainable tourism and adaptation to climate change. These activities in particular have been supported by the GEF Medprogramme.
