PAR Monitor: Strategy for Public Administration Reform

Author/s: ,

The PAR Monitor measures the countries’ state of play in PAR, benchmarks them against each other, and provides recommendations for improvement focused on strategy for public administration reform.

In line with WeBER’s focus on the region’s EU accession process, once the SIGMA Principles of Public Administration were revised in 2023, the WeBER PAR Monitor methodology was also redesigned in 2024. This was done in order to keep the focus of WeBER’s recommendations on EU-compliant reforms, thus guiding the governments in the region towards successful EU accession and future membership.

The Strategy for PAR Montenegro 2024/2025 is a product of a month and a half long monitoring process, which relied on different data collection techniques and thus resulted in an abundance of findings.The monitoring period for the Strategy of PAR covers developments since the last PAR Monitor cycle. This report focuses primarily on 2023 and 2024, as well as the end-of-2022 developments not covered in the previous cycle.

The analysis  for Montenegro includes: • Public Finance Management Reform Program 2022-2026 • Action Plan 2024-2025 for Digital Transformation Strategy 2022-2026, as well as civil society participation in PAR coordination and monitoring structures at both the political and administrative levels.
