Project Information
Under the framework of the multi-year project titled “Knowledge for Reform Action in the Western Balkans,” funded by the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, UNOPS is providing support in the six countries of the Western Balkans (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo*, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Serbia) with access to tailored expertise, knowledge and best practice to assist them with advancing their respective reform agenda. Learning and technical exchanges will be promoted across the Region, as well as from neighboring countries which have joined the European Union (EU). The aim of the project is to strengthen institutional, administrative and legislative frameworks and practices.
Under the direct supervision of the AUMCO Director and guidance from Head of Programme, and in close cooperation with beneficiaries, the Chief Technical Advisor on Capacity Development will coordinate with respective government authorities, such as the Prime Minister's Office, the Ministry of European Integration, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or other Ministries and institutions as appropriate, as well as EU Delegations, Norwegian Embassies and other stakeholders, to ensure the effective provision of technical capacity development and support as per the project agreement. This will include sharing of knowledge and best practices in support of the government’s efforts to align with the EU acquis in specific Chapters.
