The Regional School of Public Administration (ReSPA) is continuously engaged in developing specific analytical papers and studies devoted to important topics for successful reforms of public administration in the Region. One of these policy papers is the one related to policy coordination. 

In this regard, ReSPA is organizing online thematic workshops related to the development of the Policy Paper on Policy Coordination - with a focus on coordination of Public Administration Reform (PAR) and Public Finance Management (PFM). This study is composed of a general overview of the state of art as regards policy coordination in Western Balkans, coordination models, mechanisms & best practices, as well as a dedicated section for the current situation in each country, including challenges encountered and recommendations. The workshops will serve as a forum for gathering views, inputs, and suggestions on the initial version of the Policy Paper, which will help to tailor further, improve, and upgrade it.
