Public administration reform. PAR (EUR 2 mn) The project concerns a horizontal support to the implementation of the PAR Strategy, which addresses key challenges prevalent within the present administration. Support will be given to capacity building of the General Secretariat and of the Civil Servants Agency. Support to the General Secretariat aims at strengthening the further development and coordination of the implementation of the PAR Strategy; enhancing the capacity of the Government for strategic planning and policy making, monitoring and coordination; supporting the implementation of the Strategy for Equitable Representation and supporting the implementation of the Strategy for Cooperation with the Civil Society Sector. Activities are likely to include the assessment of existing strategies and capacities, identifying areas of attention, developing action plans and establishing monitoring systems. Capacity building of the Civil Servants Agency aims at strengthening the capacities in human resource management, including training management, coordination and ensuring capacity for generic training of the civil servants. It is expected that a coordination mechanism will be established with other Government sections relevant for the implementation of the human resource management actions, and that staff will be trained to strengthen the implementation of the National System for Training Coordination. It is expected that one service contract will be concluded to support different sectors within the General Secretariat for a period of up to 24 months. The contract value will be approx. EUR 1.3 mn. A second service contract will be concluded to support the Civil Servants Agency for a period of up to 24 months. The value of the contract will be approx. EUR 0.5 mn. And finally, with view to improve strategic planning, monitoring and coordination capacities within the General Secretariat, a twinning light arrangement will be concluded for a value of EUR 0.2 mn. It is envisaged that both tenders and the call for twinning proposals will be launched in March 2008.
