What we do?

Moja Budućnost project aims to contribute to improving economic opportunities and employability in Bosnia and Herzegovina, especially for young people, through development of business opportunities at the local level and the improvement of processes and practices in the field of secondary vocational education and training. Furthermore, we focus on adult training and education that is in line with the labor market needs. In its first phase,the interventions will be implemented primarily in Herzegovina-Neretva, West Herzegovina, and Zenica-Doboj Cantons and Republika Srpska entity. Certainly, attention will also be paid to the utilizing synergy effects between these and other regions.

We analyze the market and identify the root causes behind market inefficiencies. Then, we tailor our interventions to fix those inefficiencies, which we implement together with existing market actors. While our role remains rather facilitative, we encourage and empower existing market actors or help create new ones to efficiently take on these challenges by themselves. By doing so, we ensure that our impact is felt even after the project completion. We want to foster young people’s visions about purposeful and fulfilling life, exciting employment and decent income.
