Mobilising our efforts
Supporting public administrations during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis
SIGMA partner administrations have to find effective responses to the pandemic crisis to continue functioning and delivering political and administrative decisions and public services for citizens, while also protecting the people who make the machinery work.
Principles of Public Administration
A framework for good public administration
The Principles were first developed in 2014 to set out in practice what a well-functioning public administration looks like. Initially targeted at EU candidate countries and potential candidates, a version of the Principles has been developed for European Neighbourhood countries.
