NISPAcee Fair of New Project Proposals
Topic: The Regional Centre for Public Administration Reform
Presenter: Saltanat Janenova, Network facilitator, RCPAR, UNDP Regional Centre for Public Administration Reform
The Regional Centre for Public Administration Reform (RCPAR) is a five-year regional project on PAR implemented under the auspices of the United Nations Development Programme Bratislava Regional Centre (UNDP BRC) and primarily financed by the Hellenic Government. The demand-driven approach of the Project is secured by its Network of Focal Points, which currently counts more than 200 institutions. Most of these are public sector departments and agencies, but relevant academic institutions and non-governmental organisations are also eligible for membership, provided they work in thematic areas of relevance to the project: policy making and coordination; public finance management; organisation and staffing; and public service delivery. Using a variety of tools made available through the project, network members are actively involved in developing new multi-country proposals. If approved, these proposals can be funded with up to 100,000 USD. In addition to giving a brief description of the project and the current profile of the network, and explain of how interested parties can join the network, the presentation will provide examples of ongoing and prospective multi-country activities.

Topic: Advanced methods for transparent management and democracy in Public Administration
Presenter: Roumiana Tsankova, Technical University-Sofia, Research and Education Centre for e-Government, Bulgaria
The aim of our project proposal is to identify the administrative-management problems which need more transparency and visibility and to find methods and tools for more wide democratization of these processes.
Such a project could involve the following scientific and practical oriented directions:
-To investigate and identify legislative and regulatory problems for administrative-management processes in the field of transparency and democracy in all hierarchical level.
-To propose common legislative and regulatory solutions for some clear and common problems of the CEE countries in the field of transparency and democracy in all hierarchical level.
- To provide some expert management decisions for identified administrative-management problems of the CEE countries in the field of transparency and democracy in all hierarchical levels derived from the good administrative practices.
- To test and recommend some advanced tools for an improvement of the democratization processes (for example tele- and videoconferencing, Web technologies etc).
Different researcher and managers, administrative specialists could participate in such project. An additional effect could be that the “good practices” will discover their tacit knowledge, which will be helpful for the other problems solutions.
Topic: Possible new NISPAcee activities
Presenter: Ľudmila Gajdošová, NISPAcee Executive Director
In 2009 NISPAcee adopted a new Strategy which should lead the organization in the upcoming several years. The Strategy includes continuation in the NISPAcee traditional activities, but several new directions are also suggested, mainly focused on e.g. the improvement of the quality of education, training and research, relevance of the organization for the practitioners, support of young professionals, support of institutions and countries outside the EU, possible new partners and donors of new projects and activities. All conference participants are invited for a discussion on these NISPAcee opportunities.
