This report was produced within the project BiH ESAP in 2023 (read more: www.esap.ba).

It presents the project’s GESEP mainstreaming goals, as well as the main steps used to do so. It then summarizes the project’s GESEP related results, and provides a series of key recommendations drawn from the project’s experience. These include the need to set projects’ GESEP-related ambitions as a first step in mainstreaming efforts; the importance of allocating sufficient resources to meet GESEP mainstreaming goals; and the need to anticipate resistance to GESEP mainstreaming into environmental policy.

The report also highlights the need to improve access to disaggregated data and examples of best practices, as well as the need to use project activities as a platform for marginalized groups to safely voice their concerns, needs and proposals.
