SOCIJALNE INSTITUCIJE U BOSNI I HERCEGOVINI: Ko brine o socijalnim kategorijama
INSTITUTIONAL CARE FOR THE SOCIALLY WEAK CATEGORIES IN BIH

Summary/Abstract: Bosnia and Herzegovina is facing a serious economic crisis that has resulted in a large number of socially deprived who are in need of help and support in order to satisfy their needs, to take active parts in their society and enjoy their rights thereof. The article attempts to identify socially deprived categories in our social context and who provides care for these categories. Considering a variety of conception of the system of social care, the author here deals with a kind of social care that is not based upon donations. Using the method of analysis of the content of documents the article offers a review of the legal framework of the system of social care and the institutions responsible for social care on state level as well as those on the level of the entities, cantons and municipalities. The article also presents a short view of the role, significance and contribution of nongovernmental organisations and religious communities in providing immediate aid to the socially endangered on the one hand and in creating a social policy as well as a strategy for development of civil society, on the other hand.
