WeBER – Initial regional workshop for developing the regional PAR monitoring methodology

In addition to developing the methodology for the monitoring of public administration reform, the workshop participants also discussed the design and development of a regional PAR platform (WeBER platform), which will enable the interested civil society organisations to actively follow and influence the reform process in the Western Balkans.

Furthermore, a link between the development of the PAR monitoring methodology with the development of the WeBER platform was established in a session dedicated to the process of creation of a communication strategy aimed towards civil society. Rebecca Castermans, a media and communication expert from the European Policy Centre from Brussels, led this session.

The methodology of the project entails a combination of activities that aim to increase the capacity of civil society organizations in the Western Balkans to participate in the PAR monitoring and influence the design of reform – PAR Monitor, while creating a platform for discussion with their respective governments – WeBER platform. The methodology also envisages a regional benchmarking (PAR Scoreboard) of the countries based on the results achieved in the reforms.
