Kyrgyz officials learn precise self-assessment

European experts train the Kyrgyz state officials in precise self-assessment, while the United Nations Development Program believes the measure will help the government to improve the state services.

High and middle- rank officials of ministries, departments and the government executive staff are acquainted with the Common Assessment Framework - the European quality framework for assessment of the state officials’ activity and quality of the state services. The methodology is used by all members of the European Union since 2000. According to official data, CAF is applied in the majority of the national state administration reform programs in Europe.

The framework could be actively used by the Kyrgyz state institutions in future. Moreover, the training was initiated by the government.

As to Panos Liverakos, Chief Technical Advisor at UNDP Regional Center for Public Administration Reform, the methodology is based on estimation of management quality by the state officials themselves.
