About us
The Regional Housing Programme (RHP), a joint initiative by Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro and Serbia – the “Partner Countries” – provided sustainable housing to 36 000 most-vulnerable refugees and displaced persons following the 1991-1995 conflicts on the territory of former Yugoslavia, in addition to internally displaced persons in Montenegro from 1999. The RHP came to an end in 2023, having delivered more than 11 300 homes. As an integral part of the Sarajevo Process for refugees and displaced persons, the RHP represented a unique example of international cooperation addressing a complex, post-conflict challenge. The RHP would have not been possible without the support of the international Donor community, which committed a total of EUR 294 million. The European Union was the largest Donor, with a commitment of more than EUR 238 million, followed by the United States of America, with EUR 24 million, in addition to Germany, Norway, Switzerland, Italy and others. The efforts of the Partner Countries were supported by three international organisations – the Council of Europe Development Bank (CEB), the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). The RHP consisted of four individual Country Housing Projects, which were implemented by the Partner Countries themselves, with technical assistance managed by the CEB. Thanks to its regional character, the RHP contributed to the improvement of neighbourly relations, thereby fostering security and stability across the region.
