Capacity Development Programme (CDP)

CDP contributes to strengthening of institutional and administrative capacities of Montenegro for the European Integration process. This Programme has been successfully operating since September 2003 as a partnership between the Government of Montenegro http://www.gov.me/naslovna, the Foundation Open Society Institute (FOSI-ROM) http://www.soros.org/ and UNDP. The initial budget of $550,000 in 2003 grew to $1, 7 million by the end of the first phase in 2007. The budget for the second phase of CDP assistance from 2007- 2009 was $1.9 million while the initial budget for the third phase of CDP assistance from 2010 – 2013 is $2.0 million.

CDP has been supporting a series of institutional and functional horizontal and vertical reviews, re-structuring and reorganization in different ministries. The third phase is focused on further support to the European Integration process, supporting the development and implementation of the new Strategy on Public Administration Reform for 2010-2015 and capacity development of relevant Government structures for EU integration.
