The Sigma Programme, a joint initiative of the EU and the OECD principally financed by the EU, works with Turkey in parallel with the EU enlargement process. The EU opened accession negotiations with Turkey in October 2005.
Sigma Activities in Turkey
Turkey, as an EU candidate, relies on Sigma assistance in priority areas, such as financial control, policy-making and co-ordination, and public procurement, and in various activities.
Since its creation in 1992, Sigma has produced several reports on Turkey that you may find of interest, as listed below.
Sigma Assessment Reports: Turkey
These assessment reports are prepared each year by Sigma at the request of the European Commission and as a contribution to the Commission's annual Progress Reports on EU candidates and potential EU candidates. They also provide Turkey with inputs to its reform activities.
In 2008 Sigma's assessment reports covered seven policy areas: public service and the administrative legal framework, policy-making and co-ordination capacities, public expenditure management, public procurement, public internal financial control, external audit, and the public integrity system.
