ReSPA Director and Managing Director of KDZ handed over the “CAF Effective User” Certificate to the Director of the FBiH Civil Service Agency, at a promotional event jointly organized today by ReSPA, the Agency and KDZ in the premises of the Government of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Director Handjiska-Trendafilova underscored ReSPA's invaluable and ever-growing regional in-house capacity within the Regional Quality Management Centre and readiness for further boosting the quality of institutional performance and public services for the citizens: "Today's event is also very important for ReSPA and for our Regional Quality Management Centre. In just 2 years, and under the selfless mentorship of KDZ, we have established a recognizable regional resource centre, introduced CAF in close to 10 institutions, established collaboration with 11 experts and CAF ambassadors, and trained a group of 26 experts for External Feedback from the Western Balkans public administrations. This is an invaluable regional in-house capacity that we will continue to develop.”

Aida Soko, Adviser to the Prime Minister of Government FBiH said that “Agency justified the trust of the FBiH Government when we decided at the 337th Session to introduce CAF standards for quality management in civil service bodies for the period 2022- 2024 and instructed the Agency to initiate the activities”.

Refik Begić, Director of the Civil Service Agency of FBiH highlighted that the Certificate is a recognition for the Agency team, confirming their readiness to introduce the CAF in the state administration institutions of the FBiH to improve services for the citizens.”

“In this process, the ReSPA/RQMC team learned a lot while establishing regional expertise and trust among public institutions from the region. This proves the fact that two institutions applied for external evaluation although ReSPA did not participate in the CAF implementation. This confirms how we are well connected regionally, but also the level of institutional trust in RQMC expertise. Today’s independently awarded CAF Certificate to the Agency is a strong recognition of excellence both for the  Agency and for RQMC. We are moving in a good direction, towards strengthened performances of the state administrations and modernized public services benefitting the citizens. In this journey, ReSPA RQMC has strong support and mentoring by Austrian KDZ.” said Olivera Damjanović, ReSPA Programme Manager.
