Project leader runs a core project team, which is responsible for all operative activities. Members of steering committee are directly included in the work of individual working groups, but they also meet at least twice a year at working meetings. The project is supervised by Advisory committee, which is led by the Ministry of Health of the RS.

In the framework of the project, new approaches, tools, programmes and services will be developed. The first phase will include a needs assessment from the aspect of users and vulnerable and disadvantaged groups as well as the need assessment of the gaps in organization and implementation of preventive activities. New models and approaches will be prepared and pilot tested in chosen urban and country areas. Project activities also include new programmes of education and training for the capacity building of healthcare system on primary level and in other sectors, which closely cooperate in the field of health, especially in education and social work. Project outputs will be forwarded to Ministry of Health of the RS as a basis for the changes in the field of preventive healthcare on primary level.
