Bosnia and Herzegovina

A nation of 3.1 million with forest across four tenths of its land, where citizens abroad send home a tenth of the economy and the EU has earmarked €976.6 million under its Growth Plan.

Perfect Nations values what Bosnia and Herzegovina owns and raises capital against it, through innovative financing for development (FfD) and super intelligence (SI).

Perfect Nations estimate, to be confirmed with Bosnia and Herzegovina. Figures marked dated rest on surveys more than five years old; lenient measures are marked as such. The strict measures

Strict measures. Food: share not moderately or severely food insecure (FAO). Water: safely managed drinking water where measured; where it is not, basic water, marked as such. Shelter: the lower of safely managed sanitation and the share outside urban slums. Energy: the lower of electricity per person against 1,000 kWh and clean cooking; where electricity per person is not published, clean cooking. Education: the lower of children reading by the end of primary school and lower-secondary completion. Health: WHO service coverage index. Livelihood: share above the stricter of the national poverty line and the World Bank line for the nation’s income group (US$8.30 a day for high-income nations). Each figure links to its source.

Dear Bosnia and Herzegovina,

Your forests cover four tenths of your land, four tenths of your power is renewable, and citizens abroad send home a tenth of your economy.

Yet by the strict international measure, 43.4% of you lack safely managed sanitation, and a third of homes cook without clean fuel. Let the EU Growth Plan reach the pipes and treatment every home needs.

“Let the Growth Plan reach the pipes every home needs.”
