Rationale for the support

Areas of support

Robust, transparent, and more efficient and effective public administrations are crucial for resilient and democratic societies. Institutional capacity building and human resource development are among the principal tools for improving effective service provision and the protection and promotion of human rights by public services. Fostering digital citizenship and tackling information manipulation can also be supported. Cooperation between Donor State and Beneficiary State institutions aims to contribute to the development of sound, efficient, inclusive and responsive administrations, with the structures, human resources and management skills needed to implement their designated tasks to a high standard. Support for these institutions, and the enhancement of their capacities and response to societal needs is crucial to citizens’ trust. In this regard, cooperation and the exchange of knowledge between Donor and Beneficiary States is of mutual benefit.
