3 A few facts Slovakia is home to 5,5 million people, all of whom tend to claim public services. We use 37,1 % of the national GDP (in 2013) to ensure the functioning of our PA and over 17,000 public buildings to house an extensive public administration network, staffed by public servants. We rank on the 78 th place in The Global Competitiveness Report Slovakia was thus labeled the second least competitive country in the EU. An average Slovak citizens spends 51 days and over 1,500 Euro to gain access to public services.

4 Public administration in Slovakia Public organisations and their processes are controlled by individual units and built vertically PA policies and agendas are managed in isolation, without interoperability between sectoral organisations and services; safety and sustainability of data/services to be more systematically addressed There is an absence of an unified human resources management system of PA, starting with hiring, training, evaluating performance and quality remuneration; linkages to the political cycle Most sources of public finances are currently being used to finance current operating expenses, which cover annual recurring needs. Their growing share is draining resources needed to finance long-term development needs and improvement of the quality and scope of services.

5 CHALLENGES for Slovakia, identified by the EC Overall profile of public administration in Slovakia SK EU average G-Civil justice F-Tax compliance & tax administration A-Government Effectiveness B-Tools for administrative modernisation C-Corruption and fraud E-Public Procurement D-Business Start & Licenses Source: WIFO

6 PA VISION PA as a client-oriented, knowledge-based public service prepared to provide high quality services and assistance even in times of crises developed in line with European standards and global best practices able to provide services at local, regional and national level adapted to the needs of users, stimulating active participation and inclusive growth

7 At national level Slovakia is currently addressing areas including: The current and envisaged PA s cost-benefit ratio and budgetary planning, determining the actual cost of services, monitoring capacity and demand, enhancing future benefits by restructuring PA to foster sustainable growth and social cohesion, Building national analytical capacity in key segments of PA enabling effective corrections and focused, strategic and evidence based policy-making Re-modeling the PA service portfolios and delivery structures, measuring their current size and scope, and optimizing their future availability and effectiveness from a user friendly perspective, Mainstreaming of future oriented, sustainable development strategies at national level as well as in the EU context, Supporting stakeholder involvement, fostering engagement, ownership and shared responsibility, aiming to turn necessary measures into accepted solutions.

8 PA REFORM PHILOSOPHY in the SR Systems Services Recipients Integrated strategic approach concentrating limited resources on key priorities with added value, identified and addressed based on the partnership principle
