Description
Twinning instrument is used for cooperation and long-term institutional partnership between public administrations of one or more EU Member States and the national authorities of beneficiary country. The purpose of this paper is to examine benefits of twinning programs as instruments for capacity building of public institutions. The paper provides an analysis of the twinning program portfolio in Macedonia per sectors, twinning country providers, and beneficiary institutions. The conclusions are that Macedonian institutions have benefitted a lot from the twinning programs implemented in the last fifteen years; nevertheless, there is still room for significant improvements in the design and implementation procedures that would enable the beneficiary institutions to take full advantage of these programs.
