| Description | SIGMA contributes to strengthen public administrations in the Western Balkans and Turkey so that beneficiaries' administrations correspond to European values of democracy, human rights and the Rule of Law, strengthen integrity, predictability, accountability, legality and transparency and provide quality policy outcomes supporting socio-economic development. The Action will achieve improved performance by beneficiaries through a stronger focus on how reforms can be taken forward, implemented and assessed. SIGMA assistance encompasses several aspects of democracy, good governance and public administration reforms, such as civil service and public administration organisation and functioning, policy making, PAR coordination, public finance management and Audit and public procurement. In this way SIGMA contributes to build up administrative capacities for the adoption and correct implementation of the Union acquis so as to create adequate conditions for integration of the Beneficiaries into the EU. |
