  Dear members,

  
  

  First of all, I wish you a happy new year and all the best for the future. I would like to inform you briefly about ACIPS activities in the period since I took over the position of the President of ACIPS in May 2013.

  During, this period ACIPS has implemented two projects with regard to the population census in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The first project was a political, economic and social analysis of questionnaires for the population census. The British Embassy financed this project which ended in June 2013.

  The second project on the population census was implemented in the period from July until the end of October. The National Endowment financed this project for Democracy. As part of this project a handbook was created that explains the purposes that the data from the census can be used.

  ACIPS also organized in August a presentation of the USAID Civil Society Sustainability Index 2012 for Bosnia and Herzegovina and in October a panel discussion for USAID CSO Sustainability Index for 2013.

  ACIPS has also organized and co-organized three public discussions on constitutional changes in Bosnia and Herzegovina in October, November and December 2013.

  There is a plan to organize a public discussion on the protection of personal data, since data from one of our members were violated, but to also organize public discussions on other relevant issues. I would like to encourage you to propose topics that you would like to discuss in public.

  With regard to the magazine New Perspectives the Steering Board has decided to change the format of the magazine to electronic format, which is indexed. We are currently working on fundraising for this project and we will create a new website for this purpose.

  The Steering Board of ACIPS and I would like to encourage you to approach us if you have any ideas for a project. From our side, we will forward you calls for proposals for different projects to include your ideas, but also to create the opportunity for you to work with ACIPS.

  
  

  If you have any further questions, do not hesitate to contact me.

  
  

  Sincerely,

  
  

  Anes Makul

  President / Predsjednik
