Eda is interested in collaboration in regional projects, where we can be a reliable, proactive, and creative partner. We believe that there are many opportunities for synergy in interactions with partner organizations. Our experiences, references, and acquired credibility can contribute to better project design and implementation.
Key donors in Bosnia and Herzegovina entrust us with the management of increasingly demanding projects, and large international implementers/donors are engaging us more often in carrying out project components where, in addition to deep and specific knowledge, a special sensitivity to the local context and relationships among stakeholders is required. Thanks to our developed capacities, a stable and complementary team, and decades of experience, Eda is a reliable implementer of complex projects.
