Assessment Reports

SIGMA's Assessment Reports are prepared at the request of the European Commission as a contribution to its annual Progress Reports on EU Candidates and potential Candidates and to its programming of technical assistance. They also aim to provide partners with inputs into their own reform activities.

 

The assessments are conducted against sectoral baselines developed by SIGMA and the EC. They cover the following areas: civil service; administrative legal framework; public integrity; public expenditure management; public internal financial control; external audit; public procurement and policy-making and coordination. Every year, the EC prioritises the sectors to be assessed.
