2. Strategic Planning, Policy Development and Public Finance Introductory Workshops for the New SectorsStrategic Planning Introductory Workshops for the New Sectors
Following a conducted needs assessment process, thirteen
ministries responsible for Social Protection, Agriculture and
Small and Medium Enterprises signed Memorandums of
Understanding and Activity Plans on March 10, 2010. At the
same time the nine ministries responsible for the Energy,
Transport and Labour and Employment sectors agreed to the
continuation of their activities with the SPPD programme by
consenting to new Activity Plans.
The first round of Strategic Planning workshops for the
new sectors, called “Planning Process, Mission Definition
and Introduction into SWOT Analysis”, was organized from
March 16 – 26, 2010 in Zenica and was conducted by our
international consultant Mladen Milanović. 47
government officials from the thirteen ministries,
including Assistant Ministers and Secretaries, contributed
actively to the workshops. The participants learned about
the basics of strategic planning and defined a draft vision
and a mission of their respective departments. The
workshops were well received by the participants based
on the evaluation scores for the project and on the
comments provided in the evaluation sheets. In general,
participants found the seminars very well designed and
useful for practical work. The sharing of knowledge and
the discussions on key problems among the participants
were perceived as particularly helpful since the workshop
proved a unique opportunity for meeting colleagues from
other government levels responsible for the same sector.
The second round of workshops in the new sectors
started with the SME sector on May 4-5 in Teslić. The
sectors Agriculture and Social Protection followed on May
11-14 in Teslić and Zenica.

The first round of Public Policy workshops for the new
sectors was entitled “Introduction to Public Policy
Development: the 12 Steps Recommended by SIGMA,
OECD and the EU”. These workshops were organized on a
sector-basis and designed and led by the International
Public Policy Consultant, Ms. Marina Škrabalo. The overall
objective of the first round of workshops was to
qualitatively introduce the civil servants to the EU
methodology for policy development as well as to the
analytical steps that ought to be undertaken prior to
legislative drafting. The first part of the seminars
concentrated on the definition of public policy and policy
development in great detail and brought this new and
complex concept closer to the participants. In the second
segment of the workshop the cyclic nature of policy
development and the importance of stakeholder
participation were highlighted. At the end of the seminar
the civil servants met with their mentors and agreed on a
policy they would use as an example in the upcoming
mentoring sessions.

The first round of Public Finance Management workshops
held for the ministries responsible for SMEs, Social
Protection and Agriculture Sector was conducted in the
period from March 24 to April 1, 2010. The seminars were
attended by 29 officials from nine partner ministries,
including both finance and sector program staff, and they
contributed greatly to improving the knowledge of
participants in the area of program budgeting linked to
strategic planning. The workshops also supported the
improvement of the quality of budget submissions to the
respective ministries of finance by including more relevant
performance indicators in budget submissions and by
identifying means for their monitoring. The general
recommendation of the attendants was that more of such
workshops should be organized with individual ministries
in the future, thereby also involving senior staff in charge
of making budget decisions. As a follow-up to the
workshops, a series of on-site mentoring sessions was
conducted with the partner ministries which focused on
preparing the initial 2011-2013 Budget Request.

4. Institutionalization of Strategic Planning and Policy Development in the Participating MinistriesIn accordance with the Action Plans for 2010 the SPPD
Programme Team has commenced activities on ensuring the
sustainability of strategic planning and policy development
practices in the ministries. The aim is that the participating
ministries adopt internal acts which incorporate
methodologies for strategic planning and policy development
into their every day work. First working meetings with the
partner ministries in the Republika Srpska and the Federation
of Bosnia and Herzegovina were held in Banja Luka on March
25, 2010 and in Sarajevo on April 27, 2010. One of the
conclusions of the meetings was to involve the government's
Legal Offices and General Secretariats in all further activities on
institutionalization. The meeting with the partner ministries of
the state level took place on May 27, 2010.
3. New Round of Strategic Planning and Policy Development Workshops for the Old SectorsA new round of strategic planning workshops was
organized from April 13 - 21 for 45 government officials
from the Energy, Transport and Labour and Employment
sectors. The main objective of these workshops was to
provide each ministry with the opportunity to present a
strategic plan to their peers and to introduce the
participants to monitoring and evaluation mechanisms. The
attendants took a very active role in laying out their
strategic plans to the colleagues from other ministries. They
also worked on developing coordination models for their
respective ministries and used the opportunity to review
and upgrade the indicators of their Action Plans. The focus
for the upcoming months will be on the implementation of
activities as foreseen in the Action Plan, the development of
the 2011 Action Plan and the institutionalization of the
strategic planning function in each ministry. The presence
of a representative from the Directorate for European
Integration at the workshops was welcomed by the
participants as a good opportunity to improve
communication with the Directorate.
