The overall objective of the project is to contribute to the sustainable transition of BiH to achieve the EU’s long-term sustainability goals and to foster the EU accession process. This will be achieved through creating and implementing effective local transition measures and policies and thus contributing to better living conditions for citizens in coal regions in BiH. 

The project is focusing on seven municipalities and cities in BiH as pilot communities; Municipality of BrezaMunicipality of BanovićiMunicipality of Ugljevik, City of Živinice, Municipality of Gacko, City of Gradiška, and the Municipality of Kakanj. They work as inspirational role models for a sustainable transition to other regions and communities in BiH. 

Gender equality, social equity and poverty reduction are both outcomes of and conditions for sustainable transitions and therefore mainstreamed throughout the BiH project.
