The Greek authorities have committed to continue the reform of the public administration in order to boost state efficiency, transparency and meritocracy. To support this reform, Greece has requested assistance from the Directorate General for Structural Reform Support (DG REFORM) of the European Commission. DG REFORM contracted Expertise France, the organisation nominated by the Reform Partner France, to provide technical support (TS). Expertise France has supported administrative reforms in Greece since 2011.
The project led by Expertise France provides support to Greece in its efforts to strengthen institutional and administrative capacity, to effectively address the challenge for the development of a modern public administration through training.
Implementation of the TS is carried out by a multinational team of Greek and other EU Member States’ experts headed by one Key Expert (KE), under the supervision and coordination of Expertise France. A Local Management Team composed by a Project coordinator and a Project assistant is setup in Athens in order to provide support to the activities thus facilitating the logistic, administrative and coordination arrangements needed.
