О ПРОГРАММЕ : 

Since November 2016, the technical cooperation project “Regional Fund for Administrative Reform in the Eastern Partnership” has been contributing to the creation of the prerequisites for sustainable changes through public administration reform (PAR) in the Eastern Partnership states. The support of the countries regarding the implementation of their policies in public administration reform is provided through the implementation of sub-projects (Teilmaßnahmen) conducted by the Regional Fund. These offer a forum for exchange among experts, specialists and managers as well as the possibility of piloting solutions for ongoing or planned administrative reforms. Advantageous starting points arise from the fact that GIZ development cooperation projects have already been commissioned in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine to support administrative reforms and promote good governance. The 6th country involved in the Eastern Partnership is Belarus. These projects work together with the relevant partner institutions of the Regional Fund. In its currently second phase the Regional Fund focuses on four thematic action fields such as: E-Governance, Civil Service and Vocational Training, Parliamentary Administration, and better Public Services. The European principles for administrative reforms (so-called SIGMA principles) as well as approaches to sector governance form an essential conceptual basis.
