There might also be cases where an individual Action
Programme is made up of one single Action, particularly where
an Action (and therefore the entire Action Programme) focuses
on a defined sector (e.g. through Budget Support).

The Sector (Wide) Approach
What is the Sector Approach?
The Sector Approach is a way of working together
between: Government and Donors and other Key
Stakeholders (NGOs, CSOs etc)
It is a process aiming at broadening government and
national ownership over public sector policy and
resource allocation decisions within a sector by
increasing the coherence between policy, spending
and results, and reducing transaction costs

It involves a shift from stand-alone projects to
programmes where donor assistance contributes to
the development and implementation of a coherent,
nationally owned programme across a whole sector
(i.e. ‘Sector-Wide’)

Paris Declaration: Aid Effectiveness
Paris Declaration (02/03/2005) principles are: 1) Ownership; 2)
Alignment; 3) Harmonization; 4) Managing for results; 5) Mutual
accountability
Indicators
Countries put in place national development strategies with clear strategic
priorities (OWNERSHIP).
Donors align their aid with national priorities and provide the information
needed for it to be included in national budgets (ALIGNMENT)
Co-ordinated programmes aligned with national development strategies
provide support for capacity development (ALINGNMENT)
As their first option, donors use fiduciary systems that already exist in
recipient countries (ALINGNMENT).
As their first option, donors use procurement systems that already exist in
recipient countries (ALINGNMENT).
 Aid is released according to agreed schedules (ALINGNMENT).

What is a Sector?
 There is no single definition of the policy area
that can be considered a sector, nor is there an
exhaustive list of possible sectors.
 A sector is a defined policy area under the
responsibility of a line minister (following DG
ELARG guidelines).

Project funded by
The European Union

Government of the Republic
of Serbia
European Integration Office
Criteria for Sector Definition
1. Sector should be have relevance for EU accession
and/or national socio-economic development.
2. Sector should be wide enough to be significant for
national accession /development objectives, but
narrow enough for institutional coherence
3. Sector should have a clearly established institutional
framework, institutional leadership & responsibilities,
ideally there should be one lead institution;
4. Sector should have a clear linkage to the national
budgetary process

What is Budget Support (BS)?
BS is a method of delivering financial assistance which
normally has 4 steps:
 (Sector) Policy Dialogue
 Financial Transfers (in ‘tranches’) to National
Treasury Account
 Performance Assessment
 Capacity Development

BS is delivered by means of ‘Sector Reform Contracts’.

Project funded by
The European Union

Government of the Republic
of Serbia
European Integration Office
Political and Economic Focus of IPA-BS
Compliance with the political criteria should be
the primary focus of IPA2 BS. In particular,
assistance should support preparations for acquis
chapters 23 and 24 (The ‘Rule of Law’)
For the economic criteria, the main focus of IPA2
BS should be on supporting the establishment of a
functioning market economy (Copenhagen Criteria:
i.e. ‘The ability to withstand the pressures of the
internal market’)

Project funded by
The European Union

Government of the Republic
of Serbia
European Integration Office
Assessment of Eligibility
Assessment takes place at 2 stages in the
programme cycle.
During programme preparation: assessment of
relevance (are key constraints /weaknesses
addressed?) and credibility (realism, institutional
capacity, track record, political commitment)
During programme implementation: assessment of
progress made in policy implementation
(benchmarked against reform commitments)

Risk Management Framework
Risk management is an internal assessment of risk levels based on
the analysis of replies to questionnaires in 5 categories, namely:
1. Political
2. Macroeconomic
3. Developmental
4. Public Financial Management
5. Corruption /Fraud
There are 4 risk levels:
 Low
 Moderate
 Substantial
 High
Beneficiaries are expected to define their risk response by means of
‘Mitigation Measures’ (these are monitored)
Project funded by
The European Union

Government of the Republic
of Serbia
European Integration Office
Whether to Provide BS?
The EC decision on providing BS is based on 3
assessments:

1. Assessment of political commitment to a
reform agenda (in line with EU accession)
2. Assessment of eligibility
3. Assessment of risks and mitigation
measures

Project funded by
The European Union

Government of the Republic

Variable Tranches: Performance Reserves
‘A Performance Monitoring System and related disbursement
criteria is at the heart of any budget support operation’ (EC)
BS disbursements are of 2 sorts:
 Base (or fixed) tranches: these are linked to eligibility
criteria
 Variable tranches: these are intended to create an
incentive for improved performance and are based on
performance indicators.
 The EC limit (cap) the use of variable tranches to avoid
unpredictability /volatility of disbursements. Typically,
Sector Reform Contracts cover commitments for 3 years
with an upper limit of 40% variable tranches
Project funded by
The European Union

Government of the Republic
of Serbia
European Integration Office
Variable Tranche (Performance) Indicators
The following principles should be applied:
1. Targets and indicators should be Coherent with
sector problem analysis and programme objectives

2. Whilst combined indicators may be used, the
emphasis should be on Results
3. Number of indicators should be limited to a
maximum of 8 per Tranche (to avoid loss of policy
focus)
4. Indicators, targets and assessment methodology
should be defined during programme preparation

Sector Policy /Strategy:
Key Questions
Is the sector policy authored by domestic actors?
Is there enough political support & stakeholder
involvement to ensure ownership & future
sustainability?
Are policy objectives coherent with national
development objectives?
Are the objectives sufficiently SMART?
Is there an ‘Action Plan’ showing the timing &
sequencing of planned operations & showing
institutional responsibilities for these?
Project funded by
The European Union

Government of the Republic

Institutional Setting
There should be a Lead Ministry which:
Plays a leading role on donor coordination within the
sector & works closely with the NIPAC
Is responsible for coordinating the planning /drafting
of Sector Support Programmes
Coordinates with other relevant stakeholders
Coordinates the implementation of IPA funded sector
support.
Coordinates the collection and analysis of monitoring
data (indicators) for IPA sector support.

Institutional Capacity
The Lead Ministry and other institutions within
the Operating Structure must have the capacity
to absorb existing and planned IPA financial
support
Recent workload analyses of the Serbian
administration (carried out in support of DIS
/DMS accreditation) have show that, at present
staffing levels, certain Lead Ministries will
experience difficulties in absorbing IPA funds
over the 2014-16 period.

5. Conclusion. Unless missing staff are recruited, the MoJ will not be able
to implement IPA 2012-13 according to the Procurement Plan. The peak
demand will be in 2014-15 which coincides with additional demands for
contracting IPA2 Sector Programmes. The capacity of the MoJ to absorb
IPA II funding will be low.

Institutional Setting & Capacity: Key
Questions
Has the sector been defined with institutional coherence
in mind?
Is there a lead Ministry in the Sector?
Are there inter-institutional agreements showing
responsibilities for achieving sector targets?
Have workload analyses of the institutions in the
Implementing Structure been carried out?
Is capacity building envisaged?
How & when will a needs assessment be carried out?

key non-government stakeholders; (2) Coordination of donors.
Lead Ministry /Institution responsible for establishing & coordinating
an ‘Operating Structure’ composed of the main government
institutions involved in sector policy /strategy making and
implementation.
Functional, government-led Sector Working Groups.
Government manages database(s) of external assistance per
sector.
Government publishes regular monitoring/ progress reports for
each sector.

Sector Budget
There needs to be a clear link between sector policy & budgeting.
Sector plans should be properly priced & prioritized within a
realistic estimate of the resources available from the national budget
& external donors.
IPA II Sector Support Programmes are planned to be multi-annual
& should be co-financed by predictable, multi-annual national
funding.
It is necessary to provide a brief description of the sector budget
on an annual, & if possible, on a medium-term perspective (3-5
years). Ideally there should be a Medium Term Expenditure
Framework (MTEF) for the sector.
However, development of MTEFs will be gradual, at first
assessments should focus on the existence of credible annual sector
budgets. At minimum, it is crucial to verify whether the sector
budget can be identified in the state budget.

Project funded by
The European Union

Government of the Republic
of Serbia
European Integration Office
Monitoring Performance
 Stand-alone project-based assistance emphasises the monitoring
of resource usage (inputs) & immediate deliverables (outputs)
and relatively little on achieving objectives.
 By contrast the sector approach will introduce much stronger
results orientation to monitoring assistance & will focus national
monitoring systems on measuring the achievement of policy
objectives. There should be agreement on a Performance
Assessment Framework (PAF).

Public Finance Management (PFM): Key Questions

Is there a PFM reform programme in place?
What are the PFM mechanisms in place for the sector?
Based on information available what are the possible
areas where support could be considered?
How do the remaining weaknesses affect the sector
policy & what recommendations can be made to improve
the situation?

Macro-Economic Framework
The purpose of the macro-economic assessment is to
assess the stability of the macroeconomic situation &
consequent potential for future public funding

It is not expected that a separate macroeconomic
analysis be carried out, but that a judgement on
stability-oriented macroeconomic policies be made on
the basis of existing documentation.

Project funded by
The European Union

Government of the Republic
of Serbia
European Integration Office
Overall Assessment
The purpose of assessments is to establish sector-level policy dialogues
with beneficiary country authorities. Negative assessments of the key
criteria do not necessarily prevent the adoption of a sector approach.

Few beneficiary countries will have functioning MTEFs & PAFs in place in
2014 but this is not a barrier to the introduction of sector approaches.
Sector assessment provides a basis for targeting necessary TA & capacity
building activities.
 However, 3 criteria are considered essential & must be in place before
adopting a sector approach:
1) The existence of a national sector policy /strategy & a sector budget or
a government commitment to develop these.
2)

A lead institution/ ministry responsible for the sector/subsector

3) The existence of a functional sector coordination framework or a
government commitment to develop one.

Project funded by
The European Union

Government of the Republic

Overall Assessment: Key Questions
Are the priority sectors for IPA II assessed as
being satisfactory on the 3 key criteria for a
sector approach?
Can the problems revealed by negative
assessments be addressed with domestic /IPA
/other donor resources as part of programme
preparation for 2014?
Can the problems revealed by negative
assessments be mitigated by the time of the
mid-term review?

  • 16. What is the Sector Approach? The Sector Approach is a way of working together between: Government and Donors and other Key Stakeholders (NGOs, CSOs etc) It is a process aiming at broadening government and national ownership over public sector policy and resource allocation decisions within a sector by increasing the coherence between policy, spending and results, and reducing transaction costs It involves a shift from stand-alone projects to programmes where donor assistance contributes to the development and implementation of a coherent, nationally owned programme across a whole sector (i.e. ‘Sector-Wide’) Project funded by The European Union Government of the Republic of Serbia European Integration Office
  • 17. Paris Declaration: Aid Effectiveness Paris Declaration (02/03/2005) principles are: 1) Ownership; 2) Alignment; 3) Harmonization; 4) Managing for results; 5) Mutual accountability Indicators Countries put in place national development strategies with clear strategic priorities (OWNERSHIP). Donors align their aid with national priorities and provide the information needed for it to be included in national budgets (ALIGNMENT) Co-ordinated programmes aligned with national development strategies provide support for capacity development (ALINGNMENT) As their first option, donors use fiduciary systems that already exist in recipient countries (ALINGNMENT). As their first option, donors use procurement systems that already exist in recipient countries (ALINGNMENT).  Aid is released according to agreed schedules (ALINGNMENT).

  • 18. What is a Sector?  There is no single definition of the policy area that can be considered a sector, nor is there an exhaustive list of possible sectors.  A sector is a defined policy area under the responsibility of a line minister (following DG ELARG guidelines). Project funded by The European Union Government of the Republic of Serbia European Integration Office
  • 19. Criteria for Sector Definition 1. Sector should be have relevance for EU accession and/or national socio-economic development. 2. Sector should be wide enough to be significant for national accession /development objectives, but narrow enough for institutional coherence 3. Sector should have a clearly established institutional framework, institutional leadership & responsibilities, ideally there should be one lead institution; 4. Sector should have a clear linkage to the national budgetary process Project funded by The European Union Government of the Republic of Serbia European Integration Office

  • 25. What is Budget Support (BS)? BS is a method of delivering financial assistance which normally has 4 steps:  (Sector) Policy Dialogue  Financial Transfers (in ‘tranches’) to National Treasury Account  Performance Assessment  Capacity Development BS is delivered by means of ‘Sector Reform Contracts’. Project funded by The European Union Government of the Republic of Serbia European Integration Office
  • 26. Political and Economic Focus of IPA-BS Compliance with the political criteria should be the primary focus of IPA2 BS. In particular, assistance should support preparations for acquis chapters 23 and 24 (The ‘Rule of Law’) For the economic criteria, the main focus of IPA2 BS should be on supporting the establishment of a functioning market economy (Copenhagen Criteria: i.e. ‘The ability to withstand the pressures of the internal market’) Project funded by The European Union Government of the Republic of Serbia European Integration Office
  • 27. Assessment of Eligibility Assessment takes place at 2 stages in the programme cycle. During programme preparation: assessment of relevance (are key constraints /weaknesses addressed?) and credibility (realism, institutional capacity, track record, political commitment) During programme implementation: assessment of progress made in policy implementation (benchmarked against reform commitments) Project funded by The European Union Government of the Republic of Serbia European Integration Office
  • 28. Risk Management Framework Risk management is an internal assessment of risk levels based on the analysis of replies to questionnaires in 5 categories, namely: 1. Political 2. Macroeconomic 3. Developmental 4. Public Financial Management 5. Corruption /Fraud There are 4 risk levels:  Low  Moderate  Substantial  High Beneficiaries are expected to define their risk response by means of ‘Mitigation Measures’ (these are monitored) Project funded by The European Union Government of the Republic of Serbia European Integration Office
  • 29. Whether to Provide BS? The EC decision on providing BS is based on 3 assessments: 1. Assessment of political commitment to a reform agenda (in line with EU accession) 2. Assessment of eligibility 3. Assessment of risks and mitigation measures Project funded by The European Union Government of the Republic of Serbia European Integration Office
  • 30. Variable Tranches: Performance Reserves ‘A Performance Monitoring System and related disbursement criteria is at the heart of any budget support operation’ (EC) BS disbursements are of 2 sorts:  Base (or fixed) tranches: these are linked to eligibility criteria  Variable tranches: these are intended to create an incentive for improved performance and are based on performance indicators.  The EC limit (cap) the use of variable tranches to avoid unpredictability /volatility of disbursements. Typically, Sector Reform Contracts cover commitments for 3 years with an upper limit of 40% variable tranches Project funded by The European Union Government of the Republic of Serbia European Integration Office
  • 31. Variable Tranche (Performance) Indicators The following principles should be applied: 1. Targets and indicators should be Coherent with sector problem analysis and programme objectives 2. Whilst combined indicators may be used, the emphasis should be on Results 3. Number of indicators should be limited to a maximum of 8 per Tranche (to avoid loss of policy focus) 4. Indicators, targets and assessment methodology should be defined during programme preparation Project funded by The European Union Government of the Republic of Serbia European Integration Office

  • 42. Institutional Capacity The Lead Ministry and other institutions within the Operating Structure must have the capacity to absorb existing and planned IPA financial support Recent workload analyses of the Serbian administration (carried out in support of DIS /DMS accreditation) have show that, at present staffing levels, certain Lead Ministries will experience difficulties in absorbing IPA funds over the 2014-16 period.

  • 44. Absorption Capacity (II): Ministry of Justice 3. Workload Analysis (WLA) for staffing needs to implement IPA 201213 shows the following minimum staffing levels needed to meet the Procurement Plan, these are as follows: Year 2013 WLA staff needed for IPA 2012-13 4 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 7 7 5 4 3 4. Existing and Planned Staffing Levels are as follows:  Available staff (incl. Heads of Division)=6;  Systematised staff (i.e. Planned)=9 5. Conclusion. Unless missing staff are recruited, the MoJ will not be able to implement IPA 2012-13 according to the Procurement Plan. The peak demand will be in 2014-15 which coincides with additional demands for contracting IPA2 Sector Programmes. The capacity of the MoJ to absorb IPA II funding will be low.

  • 45. Institutional Setting & Capacity: Key Questions Has the sector been defined with institutional coherence in mind? Is there a lead Ministry in the Sector? Are there inter-institutional agreements showing responsibilities for achieving sector targets? Have workload analyses of the institutions in the Implementing Structure been carried out? Is capacity building envisaged? How & when will a needs assessment be carried out? Project funded by The European Union Government of the Republic of Serbia European Integration Office
  • 46. Sector Coordination Covers 2 components: (1) Coordination of government institutions & key non-government stakeholders; (2) Coordination of donors. Lead Ministry /Institution responsible for establishing & coordinating an ‘Operating Structure’ composed of the main government institutions involved in sector policy /strategy making and implementation. Functional, government-led Sector Working Groups. Government manages database(s) of external assistance per sector. Government publishes regular monitoring/ progress reports for each sector. Project funded by The European Union Government of the Republic of Serbia European Integration Office
  • 47. Sector Budget There needs to be a clear link between sector policy & budgeting. Sector plans should be properly priced & prioritized within a realistic estimate of the resources available from the national budget & external donors. IPA II Sector Support Programmes are planned to be multi-annual & should be co-financed by predictable, multi-annual national funding. It is necessary to provide a brief description of the sector budget on an annual, & if possible, on a medium-term perspective (3-5 years). Ideally there should be a Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) for the sector. However, development of MTEFs will be gradual, at first assessments should focus on the existence of credible annual sector budgets. At minimum, it is crucial to verify whether the sector budget can be identified in the state budget. Project funded by The European Union Government of the Republic of Serbia European Integration Office
  • 48. Monitoring Performance  Stand-alone project-based assistance emphasises the monitoring of resource usage (inputs) & immediate deliverables (outputs) and relatively little on achieving objectives.  By contrast the sector approach will introduce much stronger results orientation to monitoring assistance & will focus national monitoring systems on measuring the achievement of policy objectives. There should be agreement on a Performance Assessment Framework (PAF). Indicator Level Function of Indicators Impacts Measure the wider benefits beyond direct beneficiaries % decrease in the backlog of civil cases % increase in satisfaction rates Results Measure the benefits produced for direct beneficiaries % reduction in number of appeals lodged due to inconsistent court rulings % increase in number of court Government of the Republic rulings enforced of Serbia Project funded by The European Union Examples (judicial reform) European Integration Office
  • 49. Public Finance Management (PFM): Key Questions Is there a PFM reform programme in place? What are the PFM mechanisms in place for the sector? Based on information available what are the possible areas where support could be considered? How do the remaining weaknesses affect the sector policy & what recommendations can be made to improve the situation? Project funded by The European Union Government of the Republic of Serbia European Integration Office
  • 50. Macro-Economic Framework The purpose of the macro-economic assessment is to assess the stability of the macroeconomic situation & consequent potential for future public funding It is not expected that a separate macroeconomic analysis be carried out, but that a judgement on stability-oriented macroeconomic policies be made on the basis of existing documentation. Project funded by The European Union Government of the Republic of Serbia European Integration Office
  • 51. Overall Assessment The purpose of assessments is to establish sector-level policy dialogues with beneficiary country authorities. Negative assessments of the key criteria do not necessarily prevent the adoption of a sector approach. Few beneficiary countries will have functioning MTEFs & PAFs in place in 2014 but this is not a barrier to the introduction of sector approaches. Sector assessment provides a basis for targeting necessary TA & capacity building activities.  However, 3 criteria are considered essential & must be in place before adopting a sector approach: 1) The existence of a national sector policy /strategy & a sector budget or a government commitment to develop these. 2) A lead institution/ ministry responsible for the sector/subsector 3) The existence of a functional sector coordination framework or a government commitment to develop one. Project funded by The European Union Government of the Republic of Serbia European Integration Office
  • 52. Overall Assessment: Key Questions Are the priority sectors for IPA II assessed as being satisfactory on the 3 key criteria for a sector approach? Can the problems revealed by negative assessments be addressed with domestic /IPA /other donor resources as part of programme preparation for 2014? Can the problems revealed by negative assessments be mitigated by the time of the mid-term review?

Notas del editor

  1. The Action Programme then becomes an annex to the Financing Agreement between the European Commission and the Beneficiary Country in the case of a Country Action Programme. No Financing Agreement is concluded in the case of a mainstream Multi-Country Programme Cross-Border Cooperation Programme, which sets out up to four thematic priorities for assistance for each border area for the entire programming period 2014-2020. The Cross-Border Cooperation Programmes are the main basis for the drafting of Financing Proposals (to become an annex to the Commission implementing Decision once adopted), which will highlight the priorities for funding and trigger commitments for up to 3 years. The Financing Decision becomes an annex to the Financing Agreement between the European Commission and the participating Beneficiary Countries. Rural Development Programmes (RDPs) represent the most formalised type of IPA support in the area of rural development. The aim of these programmes is to implement the strategic priorities for rural development set out in Country Strategy Papers, through a set of measures defined in the Framework Agreement. Programme documents A single Rural Development Programme drawn up at national level should be submitted by Beneficiaries. The programme is prepared by the relevant authorities designated by the Beneficiary and is submitted to the European Commission after consulting the appropriated interested parties. Before putting together a Rural Development Programme, a National Rural Development Strategy must be in place and analyses of the main sectors of agriculture must be carried out. Once drafting of the programme has advanced, ex-ante evaluation of the programme must be conducted. Before the programme can be adopted via a Commission implementing Decision, and in addition to the preparatory work and preconditions above, a Sectorial Agreement must be concluded with the country. A Financing Agreement is concluded concerning the Rural Development Programme after its adoption
