Gender Country Profile Study for Bosnia and Herzegovina is the first study of that kind for an accession country. The analysis is bringing conclusions and recommendations within EC Priority Areas for Development Cooperation, which will potentially serve as a basis for future creation of projects financed through European Union Instruments (IPA – Instruments for Pre-Accession Assistance and EIDHR – European Instruments for Democracy and Human Rights). The purpose of the analysis is to establish a baseline context, which will identify needs and define recommendations for IPAII.
