European Strategic Planning Project

Project Summary & Objectives

Development of Strategic Planning function in the Ministry of the Interior of the Republic of Serbia (2012-2014)

The OSCE produced a report in 2009 on Strategic Planning and Strategic Management Capacity at the Ministry of the Interior, emphasising the huge challenges involved in developing procedures for strategic planning. It proposed a number of recommendations, one of which was to establish a long-term strategy with a clear vision and mission.

The European Commission funded twinning project was the response to the recommendations made by the OSCE. Its main objective was to develop a method of Strategic Planning and improve Horizontal Communication within the Ministry to meet the standards for EU accession.

Droman Director Paddy Tomkins was the UK’s Resident Twinning Advisor (RTA) for this €1.5m two-year project.
