SIGMA's annual Assessments review the progress made by EU Candidates and Potential Candidates in five areas of public administration reform. These Assessments feed into the EC's annual Progress Reports and to its programming of technical assistance. They also aim to provide countries with inputs into their own reform activities.

The Assessments are conducted against sectoral baselines developed by SIGMA and the EC and cover the following five areas: civil service management and administrative legal framework, integrity, policy making and coordination, public finance and audit and public procurement. Every year, the EC prioritises the areas to be assessed.
