The OECD extends its gratitude to the Government of the Slovak Republic for its engagement and commitment throughout this process. This report is the result of close collaboration with the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister for the Recovery Plan and the Knowledge Economy (ODPM). The preparation of the PCSD scan involved broad consultations and validation from stakeholders across government, including the Office of the Government, the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Economy, the Ministry of Interior, the Ministry of Investment, Regional Development and Informatisation, the Slovak Agency for International Development Cooperation, the Supreme Audit Office and the Statistical Office as well as subnational governments, independent organisations and civil society representatives. The authors would like to express their appreciation to all these stakeholders for their availability and insights. The OECD extends special thanks to Valéria Bankóová, Nina Husarčíková and Kvetoslav Kmec at the ODPM for their valuable feedback and support.
The project was funded by the European Union via the Technical Support Instrument, and implemented by the OECD, in co-operation with the European Commission.
