In 2013, the ongoing activities of the Fund for Professional Rehabilitation and Employment of People with Disabilities of the FB&H continued, which this institution is implementing for the past two and a half years, since it began its work, and the basis of the activity is found in the Law on Professional Rehabilitation, Training and Employment of People with Disabilities.
Within two public calls, released at the beginning and end of the year, for the award of cash incentives for new employment of people with disabilities, 255 people with disabilities received jobs, who are at least 60 percent disabled, throughout the FB&H.
As an effective project to support people with disabilities, who cannot find general employment, neither under special conditions, this was done through the allocation of special funds for financing of independent activities, and these people registered and launched it in 2013.
With three and a half million BAM, programs for implementing professional rehabilitation of unemployed people with disabilities, sustainability and the development of companies and protected workshops were financed, which employ people with disabilities, as part of which 17 people received jobs.
