Bosnia and Herzegovina has in a very short period of time become Sweden's third largest recipient of assistance. Not only has Sweden committed a substantial volume of total commitments to Bosnia and Herzegovina (US$ 125 million for the period 1996-1999 or 2.5% of total commitments). Its disbursement rate has also been high. The amount committed for 1999 is US$ 23 million in grants.
The purpose of this study is to assess the management of Sweden's assistance to Bosnia and Herzegovina and to discuss some related policy issues. It is not an evaluation of the results of the assistance.
