About this learning event

This event continues supporting the preparation of the 2026-2028 Economic Reform Programme (ERP) in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The European Commission’s Guidance Note for the ERP requests the countries to provide information on the expected economic impact of reforms planned in the Reform Agenda, and to explain how this impact was taken into account in the macroeconomic and fiscal scenarios of the ERP.

At the workshop, participants will learn about and practice using the tools for economic impact assessment (EIA) of reforms in policy areas with the highest potential impact. After the workshop, they will be expected to work independently on finalizing the EIA in collaboration with institutions owning the reforms. Support in the form of online consultations will be available from CEF experts after the workshop. 

Who should attend

ERP coordinators and their teams, ministries of finance, state and entity level.
