Capacity
Development Program (CDP) Year
2003 In
order to respond to the problem of inadequate capacity in the central
government of Montenegro to meet its strategic priorities of law reform,
educational reform and reform of public administration, our Foundation,
together with the Government and UNDP, launched Capacity Development
Program (CDP) at the end of 2003. Three
ministries have been selected as initial partners in government: Ministry
of International Economic Relations and European Integration (MIEREI),
Ministry of Education and Science, and Ministry of Justice. Projects of
capacity building delivered through the CDP pay special attention to
adapting and preparing Montenegrin state institutions for integration in
Europe. Expert advice is provided to assist the beneficiary Ministries to
make an inventory of available existing resources and to select
appropriate technical assistance, in accordance with international
benchmarks and best practices. CDP
activities in the Ministry of Justice are designed to help the Ministry to
perform its new responsibility to oversee the reform implementation and to
be consultant in harmonization with international standards deriving form
conventions of the Council of Europe. Program
activities in the Ministry of International Economic Relations and
European Integration (MIEREI) resulted in an increased level of capacity
and a better organizational structure of the Ministry. Memorandum of
Understanding concerning European Integration Process between Montenegro
and Macedonia (FYRoM) is to be signed soon, which is one of the immediate
outcomes of these activities. As
regards the Ministry of Education, CDP is aimed to provide for an enhanced
and quality communication of education reform to the citizens. Also,
transfer of knowledge for the introduction of information technologies in
the education system will be done through the CDP. Year 2004:
