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.

In the Protestant Church in the Rhineland (EKiR), the Synod is responsible for enacting legislation and overseeing the church budget. In recent years, the Synod has initiated a number of reform projects that have resulted in significant changes to the existing framework. In its reforms, it is of paramount importance to the EKiR that the implementation of the planned regulations and measures does not place an undue burden on the congregations. For this reason, the Regional Church Office, which is responsible for the development and elaboration of regulatory projects within the EKiR, needs a tool with which the consequences of regulatory projects can be systematically recorded and assessed. This should make it easier to identify potential implementation problems at an early stage so that they can be taken into account in the legislative process. In order to meet this need, the EKiR has commissioned the National Institute for Public Administration Germany to develop a bespoke tool for prospective and accompanying legislative impact assessments that is specifically tailored to ecclesiastical legislation.

DEval - German Institute for Development Evaluation commissioned the National Institute for Public Administration Germany to advise the parliaments of Costa Rica and Honduras on the development of guidance to ex-ante evaluation. This advice was provided as part of project FOCEVAL, which aims to strengthen evaluation capacities in Latin American countries and increase the use of evaluation in policy-making.
