Welcome! "Government reform is seldom the comfortable linear model some academics would like us to believe. Rather, it is by nature somewhat chaotic."
(EU Ambassador to Ukraine, Final project conference, Kiev, April, 2002)
 

The Nicolaas Witsen Foundation is an independent, not-for-profit organisation that seeks to promote public administration reform in transitional countries through:

We undertake strategic assignments, large and small, and deliver them to the highest standards of international donors and national, regional and local governments in Central and Eastern Europe.
  The principal issues on which we focus are:  
  EU integration
  good governance
  institutional development
  public finance management
  legal framework development
  human resource management
  capacity building.
 
We work with selected groups of experienced and trusted EU and local consultants in close cooperation with project counterparts to ensure our activities are relevant, successful and sustainable.
