Summary of the project implemented by Tacno.net
The project aims to assess the impact of the minimum wage increase on NGOs in Bosnia and Herzegovina and propose legislative changes that would enable these organizations to access subsidies. Activities include research, drafting legislative proposals, lobbying decision-makers, organizing public debate, and running a media campaign.
