Twenty displaced families receive keys to new RHP homes in Kalesija, Bosnia and Herzegovina
On 7 March 2023, 20 displaced families were awarded keys to newly-constructed Regional Housing Programme (RHP) apartments in Kalesija, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
In addition to the beneficiaries themselves, the event was attended by Gianluca Vannini, Head of Operations, Section for Social Development, Civil Society and Cross-Border Cooperation at the European Union Delegation to BiH; Edin Ramić, Minister of Displaced Persons and Refugees in the Federation of BiH; Sead Džafić, Mayor of Kalesija; Nermina Džepar-Ganibegović, RHP Country Housing Project Lead Manager at the Ministry for Human Rights and Refugees of BiH; Sanja Hamidović, Programme Manager at the EU Delegation to BiH, and Aleksandar Čađenović, Government Liaison Officer at UNHCR.
On behalf of the European Union – the main Donor to the RHP – Gianluca Vannini warmly congratulated the beneficiaries on their new homes and the BiH authorities for completing approximately 2 530 housing units to date but observed nevertheless that efforts still needed to be invested to ensure the integration of the families within their communities.
