Reforms to strengthen the Peruvian civil service

Since 2002, Peru has been engaged in a process of democratic transition, which includes comprehensive reforms aimed at modernising the structure of the state and public administration. In this context, the National Institute for Public Administration (NIPAG) has been working with Peru's National Civil Service Authority (SERVIR), which is spearheading the reform initiatives. The initial objective of the collaboration was to develop research-based concepts for reflecting on, designing and implementing the public administration reform process. In addition to German experience, lessons learned from the reform processes in Georgia and Croatia were incorporated and analysed comparatively. The project served to establish a long-term cooperation between NIPAG and SERVIR and was financed by the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ). After the end of the project, the successful cooperation between SERVIR, ENAP and NIPAG will be continued.
