Summary/Abstract: In 2008 the United Kingdom’s Conflict Prevention Pool initiated a project to support the engagement of civil society organisations (CSOs) in the State Ministry of Justice (BiH MoJ) and the State Ministry of Security (BiH MoS) in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). This article presents the results of the assessment done within this project. Research was undertaken in the first phase of the project to provide a baseline for the current state of engagement between relevant actors and then a capability assessment was developed to identify key factors that shape successful engagement. The project acknowledges that engagement of CSOs in the state level security and justice sectors in BiH has been limited to date but that the outlook for increased engagement is positive.
