This Review was prepared by the OECD Directorate for Public Governance (GOV) under the leadership of Elsa Pilichowski, Director. It was developed through a series of consultations with stakeholders in the Slovak Republic, and is part of the Directorate’s broader work programme on public sector integrity.
Under the direction and oversight of Julio Bacio Terracino, Head of the Public Sector Integrity Division in GOV, this review was co-ordinated by Jeroen Michels and Carissa Munro, and the chapters were written by Pauline Bertrand, Elisabeth de Vega Alavedra, Lisa Kilduff, Jeroen Michels, Carissa Munro, and Gavin Ugale. The report greatly benefitted from the insights and comments from Santiago Wortman Jofre, Laura Thomas, Sam Brown, Emma Cantera and Carla Musi. The review was prepared for publication by Meral Gedik. Charles Victor provided valuable administrative assistance.
The OECD expresses its gratitude to the Government of the Slovak Republic, and in particular to Corruption Prevention Department (CPD) of the Office of the Government, for the support and inputs throughout the project. This review also significantly benefited from the information and comments provided by the Civil Service Council, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Economy, the Ministry of Education, the Chancellery of the National Council, the Office of the Plenipotentiary of the Slovak Government for the Civil Society Development, the Civil Service and Public Service Department of the Government Office, and various civil society organisations and representatives of the private sector. The Review is part of the project “Improving Integrity of Public Administration in the Slovak Republic” and was produced with generous financial support under the European Economic Area (EEA) and Norway Grants mechanism.
