Description of the Project

This project strives to enhance the accountability of the institutions by improving the coordination and implementation of Government policies to ensure the overall effective functioning of the Government. 

This can be achieved through solid mechanisms in place for the development of evidence-based policies, defining Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that will be monitored under a ‘Center of Government’ coordination, improved internal communication protocols within the designated administrative network, and effective system of delegation and responsibilities. Most importantly, a better understanding and awareness of citizens, media, and civil society organizations about the principles of good governance will increase the pressure on the government to deliver more effective policies with better results for citizens.

Finally, improved governance will increase accountability and transparency of the institutions and politicians towards citizens in the long term, thus limiting possibilities for corruption, political influencing, and clientelism.

Therefore, the overall goal of the project is to create effective governance standards and to facilitate the process of synchronised evidence-based policy planning and implementation process.
