The Regional PAR Scoreboard is an online regional benchmarking tool, containing an interactive map of the Western Balkans and the possibility to choose from a set of PAR Principles’ indicators for each country.
More precisely, the Scoreboard benchmarks Western Balkan countries against the set of criteria (PAR Principles) measured by two groups of indicators:
1) those developed though the WeBER PAR Monitor Methodology
WeBER Regional PAR Scoreboard graphically presents the values of indicators developed through WeBER PAR Monitor Methodology and used to measure the progress of the Western Balkan countries on a scale between 0 and 5, with 0 being no compliance and 5 full compliance with any given principle.
To use the Regional PAR Scoreboard, firstly select one PAR Area from the far-left drop-down menu below. Menu Select Principle will be enabled allowing you to choose one or more available Principles for that area. After selecting Principle(s), menu Select Indicators will be enabled with one or more indicator available, depending on your previous selection.
PAR Areas is the only mandatory menu for selection to get results from the Scoreboard. Selection of only one PAR area will present the result of all indicators for that area in all countries.
More results coming soon!
SIGMA Regional PAR Scoreboard graphically presents the values of indicators used to measure progress of the Western Balkan countries in complying with the SIGMA Principles of Public Administration on a scale between 0 and 5, with 0 being no compliance and 5 full compliance with any given SIGMA Principle.
To use the Regional PAR Scoreboard, firstly select one PAR Area from the far-left drop-down menu below. Menu Select Principle will be enabled allowing you to choose one or more available Principles for that area. After selecting Principle(s), menu Select Indicators will be enabled with one or more indicator available, depending on your previous selection.
PAR Areas is the only mandatory menu for selection to get results from the Scoreboard. Selection of only one PAR area will present the result of all indicators for that area in all countries.
