David Barth, Director of USAID Mission in B&H, Nataša Miskin, on behalf of the Swedish Embassy in B&H and Kenan Rešo, Director of the FB&H Employment Service, will sign in Sarajevo today a Memorandum of Understanding.
During the signing of the Memorandum, concrete projects will be announced, whose launching is expected to create more than 400 jobs in the textile, automobile, electrical and chemical industries, in Visoko, Vogošća, Konjic, Olovo and Zavidovići.
In addition, the start of cooperation with a governmental agency for employment will be another chance for the promotion of USAID’s support to civic initiatives that monitor the spending of budget funds and require transparency of public institutions.
