Sigma's Role

• Assessing reform progress and identifying priorities against baselines set by good European practice and existing EU legislation (acquis communautaire);
• Assisting decision-makers and administrations in building institutions and setting up legal frameworks and procedures to meet European standards and good practice;
• Facilitating assistance from the EU and other donors inside and outside Europe by helping to design projects, ensuring preconditions and supporting implementation.

Sigma assists the EC in the design and implementation of reform programmes, drawing from OECD expertise in governance and management in EU/OECD Member States and from its own experience of support in public administration reform to partners in Central and Eastern Europe and in the Western Balkans.
