Review of the existing strategies, documents and other secondary data for preparation of situation analyses for the Country Development Strategy (CDS) of Bosnia and Herzegovina

Introduction The purpose of this document is to give an overview of the existing background information on economic development of BiH. The main sources used are existing datasets, research reports and studies and existing evidence-based strategies already approved by the BiH Governments. Some of the titles and subtitles listed above have been left blank and they represent potential information gaps for the preparation of the Strategy. However there is a possibility that the information for those sections have been overlooked, in which case the information will be added in the next phases of the Strategy preparation.
