Participatory Assessment in Bosnia and Herzegovina Report 2022

In February 2022, UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency conducted a series of Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) with persons who received an AISA, asylum-seekers, recognized refugees and persons granted subsidiary protection across Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) to identify their main concerns and key recommendations around protection and integration.

A regular part of UNHCR’s programming, the Participatory Assessment provides an opportunity for UNHCR and others to assess the existing humanitarian programmes and adjust future initiatives in line with refugees’ feedback.

For the purpose of this assessment, 129 persons participated in the discussions.

Participants were residents in TRCs in Sarajevo Canton, Tuzla Canton and Una Sana Canton and persons under international protection in BiH residing in private accommodation.
