Your Partner in Public Administration Reform

Welcome to the website of the Public Administration Reform Coordinator’s Office.

The Public Administration Reform Coordinator’s Office in BiH (PARCO) was established by a Decision of the Council of Ministers in October 2004, in response to the need for a more efficient and accountable public administration at all levels of government, capable of taking on the obligations of the BiH EU integration process.

As a driving force behind public administration reform, the Office plays a key role in coordinating reform activities among the Council of Ministers, the entity governments, and the Government of the Brčko District, in close cooperation with the Delegation of the European Union to BiH.

Our work is based on the Public Administration Reform Strategy and Action Plan 1, documents that the Office drafted and that governments at all levels adopted in 2006. Based on these strategic documents, we coordinate, guide, and monitor public administration reform with the aim of improving its organizational structure in line with the best European practices. This way, public administration will be prepared to implement the entire BiH EU integration process and become a part of the European Administrative Space.

Vision and Mission

The Office’s vision is to improve government services through a reformed public administration.

Its mission is to initiate, coordinate, and promote reform at all levels, with the goal of protecting the interests of BiH citizens. As part of its tasks, the Office also manages the Public Administration Reform Fund.

The organizational structure of the Office is defined by the Rulebook on Internal Organization and Job Systematization.
