FAO Priorities in Bosnia and Herzegovina

FAO’s Country Programming Framework (CPF) for Bosnia and Herzegovina 2021–2025 serves as FAO’s strategic planning and programming document for the country, setting medium‑term priorities to address challenges across the agri‑food system. The CPF is closely aligned with national policy instruments, notably the Food‑Based Dietary Guidelines for Bosnia and Herzegovina and sectoral strategies for agriculture, rural development and food safety, and is coordinated with the United Nations Partnership for Sustainable Development 2021–2025. The CPF also aligns with FAO’s global Strategic Framework 2022–2031 and with relevant EU and multilateral funding priorities to ensure coherence in resource mobilisation and technical support. Priority objectives include strengthening food‑system resilience and climate‑sensitive production, improving the availability, affordability and safety of nutrient‑dense foods, and empowering smallholders and family farms through municipal SDG‑localisation pilots. The framework guides FAO’s partnerships, programme delivery and policy engagement to translate national guidance into locally relevant interventions that link production, markets and household diets.
