Implementation of government commitments

Reported implementation rate of activities of the annual government work plan (%)

The assessment is done based on the report of the annual government work plan (GAWP) for the last full calendar year, or other reporting information provided by the administration or available publicly. The implementation rate (expressed as a percentage) is calculated by dividing the number of activities which have been implemented during the last full calendar year by the total number of activities included in the GAWP in that period. Points are allocated based on the reported implementation rate of activities (x): • x < 40% = 0 points. • 40% ≤ x < 90% = linear function. • x ≥ 90% = 5 points.

Planned sectoral strategies carried forward (%)

Comparison of publicly available strategy development plans for the two most recent consecutive years (usually the annual government work plan) is conducted. The number of sector planning documents that are carried forward from the first year to the next (documents planned for adoption in the first plan, but also included in the next plan due to non-implementation) is divided by the total number of sector planning documents in the first year’s plan and expressed as a percentage. Points are allocated based on the percentage of sectoral strategies carried forward (x): • x > 50% = 0 points. • 50% ≥ x > 20% = linear function. • x ≤ 20% = 5 points.

Planned legislative commitments carried forward (%)

Comparison of the two most recent government’s legislative plans or equivalent documents is conducted. The number of laws that are carried forward from the first plan to the next (items planned for adoption in the first plan, but also included in the next plan due to non-implementation) is divided by the total number of laws in the first plan. If a separate legislative plan of the government is not available, the laws included in the work plan of the government are used instead. Points are allocated based on the planned legislative commitments carried forward (x): • x > 50% = 0 points. • 50% ≥ x > 20% = linear function. • x ≤ 20% = 5 points.
