The 14th meeting of the WeBER 3.0 National Working Group for Monitoring Public Administration Reform in Serbia was held 📅 yesterday in 📍 Belgrade.

We discussed the integration of public administration principles into sectoral policies, with a presentation of the methodology and checklists. The meeting brought together experts from CEP and relevant institutions.

The sectoral reports covered three different areas of public administration reform within two ministries, with findings presented by members of our platform @gradjanske, @BOSPolicyLab, and @EvropskiPokret.

Additionally, our researcher shared insights from research on the impact of civil society on public administration reform.
