The document summarizes foreign aid to Bosnia from 2003-2013 following the Bosnian War from 1992-1995. It discusses the socioeconomic impacts of the war, sources of bilateral and multilateral aid totaling over $8 billion, categories of aid spending over time, successes in rebuilding infrastructure but limitations in reducing poverty and corruption. While poverty and infant mortality decreased and GDP rose, the effects of large foreign assistance are difficult to definitively assess according to the conclusion.
