In EU candidate and potential candidate countries, Sigma supports governments in designing and implementing public administration reform strategies and programmes. As Public Administration Reform (PAR) is a process that cuts across all spheres of government and is closely interlinked with EU accession and association, Sigma helps partner countries to establish the institutions and strengthen the capacities required to implement and monitor reform progress. Typical Sigma support includes analysis of the current state of public institutions, assessment of development needs, advice on strengthening policy formulation capacities, and assistance in applying principles and meeting standards set in the European Administrative Space.
Sigma also assists the EC/DG-Enlargement, EC Delegations and offices of the European Agency for Reconstruction (EAR) in elaborating PAR assistance projects in candidate countries and potential candidate countries. At the request of the EC, Sigma provides substantive input to project fiches and terms of reference (ToR) and participates as an independent expert in the tendering process.
