Stories of Impact: Building Back Better in Bosnia and Herzegovina

After heavy flooding in May 2014, which affected more than 25% of the nation’s population, the Governments of Bosnia and Herzegovina launched a Recovery Needs Assessment (RNA), with support from GFDRR, the World Bank, the EU, and UNDP. The assessment helped inform a recovery plan that has thus far benefited more than 180,000 people – nearly half of whom are women – through rehabilitated infrastructure and flood protection.
