Alignment between central policy-planning documents
Expert review of central planning documents approved during the assessment period.
The alignment of the priorities of the government’s work plan with the priorities of the MTBF is assessed by identifying non-matching priorities between the two documents. No points are awarded if there are no priorities established in either of the documents or more than one inconsistency is identified. An inconsistency is defined as non-matching priorities.
The alignment of the government’s work plan with the activities foreseen in sector strategies is assessed by analysing a sample of the last five sector strategies. A minimum of 80% of the laws foreseen approved in the action plans for the sample strategies must be included in the government’s work plan for that period. To calculate the percentage, assessors identify the number of laws foreseen in the action plans of the last five sector strategies adopted during the last full calendar year in the assessment period that are also included in the government’s work plan for the following year, and divide the number by the total number of laws foreseen in the action plans of the five sector strategies. If the strategies or their action plans do not indicate the specific legislative activity, then action plans of sector strategies are not considered to be consistent with the government’s work plan.
The government is considered to make use of outcome level indicators in central planning documents if a minimum of 60% of the government’s priorities have outcome level indicators
