Launch of Government at a Glance: Western Balkans
The launch of Government at a Glance: Western Balkans on 8 July 2020, features a presentation of the main findings and a virtual ministerial-level panel discussion on the key takeaways from the publication, the lessons for ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis management efforts, and how to use the evidence to improve public administration reforms in the post-COVID 19 era.
The publication presents information on public governance in the Western Balkan region – covering Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo*, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Serbia, and compares it to OECD and OECD‑EU countries. This first regional edition features 40 indicators on public finance, public employment, centre of government, budgeting practices and procedures, human resources management, public procurement, digital government, core government results and serving citizens. Governance indicators provide important benchmarks on public administration systems, practices and performance. Indicators are presented in a user-friendly format using charts, with brief descriptive analyses of the major findings, and a methodological section on the definition of the indicator and any limitations in data comparability.
