Dear readers,

The National Agency of Civil Servants (NACS) elaborated the Project Portfolio, which is not intended as an accounting document but rather as a point of departure for future project ideas, an example of good practice aimed at ensuring visibility and creating an overview of the actions NACS has undertaken in Romanian public administration since its establishment. We, hereby, invite you to discover details on externally-financed projects implemented by the Agency or as partner, on externally-financed projects currently implemented. Part of the implemented projects was co-financed by NACS, but there were also projects entirely financed from European funds. Thus, we showed “it's possible”, that we achieved visible and acknowledged results, results with great impact, and useful for public administration, some even attained with scarce resources. At the same time, given its professionalism and its role in the management of civil service and civil servants in Romania, NACS was appointed as constant partner in implementing many projects by NGOs or media organizations, such projects being further continued, given their substantial results. We enjoyed the results of these projects together with our partners, which, in their turn, whether representing the associative or the private environment, appreciated and continued the collaboration with NACS. We developed joint projects with Freedom House Romania, the association “Assistance and Programs for Sustainable Development” – Agenda 21, the National Television, the Romanian Radio Broadcasting Company, the Council of Europe – Centre of Expertise for Local Government Reform, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Administration and Interior etc. It is also worth noting the support provided by volunteers to the success of projects, without which it would have been difficult to obtain the best results. On this occasion, we wish to express our hope that we will continue benefitting from their contribution and to launch all public institutions and authorities the challenge to work with volunteers. In the spirit of our dynamism, we are committed to a better future and we always seek to innovate, reason for which the project ideas will continuously be adapted to the requirements of a modern government and to the needs of society and our beneficiaries. In the current presentation we have dedicated a separate section to public events, national and international seminars and conferences due to the impact they had on human resources in public administration, allowing the creation of professional networks and the access to successful examples from all levels of public administration.

We express our conviction that this Portfolio constitute an example of good practice for all

public institutions and a starting point for future collaborations in project implementation

and we restate the openness of NACS as a serious and reliable partner for public

institutions and authorities, as well as for governmental structures, for the benefit of

Romanian public administration and citizens.
