  • Limited funding for adult education and learning in Bosnia & Herzegovina

    Working in Bosnia & Herzegovina, the Association for Local Development Initiatives (ALDI) is an active member of the European Association for the Education of Adults (EAEA). ALDI reports that there have been no significant changes or policies in the field of ALE in Bosnia & Herzegovina. The landscape remains relatively stable and consistent. The situation in ALE has slightly improved, compared to the previous year.

    Funding is stable but more investments are needed

    ALE in Bosnia & Herzegovina is primarily financed through project funding and fees paid by individuals. This diverse funding structure helps sustain the ALE initiatives across the country. EU funding is perceived as sufficient, while the national and local investments in ALE are still below what is required. In terms of funding stability, the situation has remained consistent, with no significant changes observed in 2022/2023.
