Does the new strategy set the right direction, the right guiding principles and select the right areas for intervention?

The guiding principles and the vision of the new Public Administration and Public Service strategy is examined in this chapter. The need for a stable legal environment for economic development is discussed as well as the requirement to carry out impact assessments before policy interventions, including the analysis of distributional effects of suggested policies. Various ways for meaningful citizen and business participation in policy making is also considered together with human resources management practices to ensure a capable, motivated and dedicated workforce. The lack of planned budgeting reforms is also questioned.
