Expert review of PAR documents, in particular public consultation reports, composition of working groups and minutes (if available) for the process of drawing up PAR planning documents (strategies, action plans and amendments). If the country has moe than one PAR-related planning document, with different scopes (e.g. a separate strategy for the PFM area), then all these planning documents must include the criteria defined below. If the country has one or two PAR planning documents covering the PAR areas but there are also other (specific or ad hoc) policy papers within the same scope, it is not necessary to analyse the other policy documents against the criteria listed below. Assessors will analyse any new plan (strategy, action plan) or any amendment to a PAR area planning document that was approved during the last full calendar year or later. If no new plans or amendments to planning documents were approved in the assessment period, assessors will analyse the most recent planning document or amendments approved prior to the assessment period. For the purposes of point allocation (see below), national non-governmental stakeholders include: • civil society organisations • business associations • unions of municipalities • trade unions PAR documents must meet the following criteria, with 1 point awarded for each.
