About this project

<p><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif">In the past decade, Romania has taken steps to improve public governance in various aspects, such as strategic planning, budgeting and public spending, regulatory policies, anti-corruption, regional development, etc. However, it lacks so far, an integrated strategic approach therefore these measures have been implemented in an incoherent manner. In order to tackle this, the General Secretariat of the Government (GSG), in partnership with the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) and the Romanian Digitization Authority (ADR) and with the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), proposed a project aimed at achieving a coherent approach and structured governance of the country.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif">The five components of the project are the following: (1) enhancing the capacity of the center of the government to act as a liaison between the various ministries and central agencies in order to achieve a better implementation of the public policies (2) elaborating a set of recommendations in order to improve the mechanisms to achieve an open government (3) implementation of the strategies for digital governance (4) evaluation of the system of public integrity and behavioral interventions in order to tackle corruption and (5) public sector innovation.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif">In the long run, the project will ensure synergy between government-developed policies and the real needs of the population, especially those of vulnerable groups, by increasing the quality of services provided.</span></span></p>
