ZENICA, July 15 (FENA) - Zenica Mayor Fuad Kasumović and UNICEF Representative for Bosnia and Herzegovina Rownak Khan signed a Memorandum of Understanding to improve the social and child protection system in order to overcome the consequences of the coronavirus pandemic.

As part of the project, which will be supported by USAID with 1,000,000 KM, support will be provided to social entrepreneurship, integrated case management and better preparedness of the centers for social work to respond to the needs in these situations.

In addition to Zenica, Tuzla, Jajce, Čitluk and Ljubuški from the Federation of BiH and from the entity of Republika Srpska, Prijedor, Laktaši, Trebinje, Pale and Derventa, will also participate in the project.

"The main framework in which the project is being conducted is the sector of social and child protection. Within this project, one of the activities that will be done is social entrepreneurship, which will also include activities with young people.

Social entrepreneurship activities will be developed for vulnerable groups and young people, who will develop certain ideas that will be funded through this project," said Khan.

The project will support all local communities and their solutions through grants. Another activity in the project is integrated case management, which will ensure that certain rights in the field of social protection, in cooperation with other sectors, are granted or promoted for the most vulnerable categories.

"The last activity in the project, but no less important, is the reduction of disaster risk. As we have all experienced and are still living in the Covid-19 pandemic, there are other natural disasters, such as floods, earthquakes, etc." noted Khan.
