Summary/Abstract: The Estonian Centre of Eastern Partnership presents the fourth Comparative Report about public administration in the EU Eastern Partners. The report continues the annual examination of progress in the area of public administration reforms posted by Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine. The key point of reference is the adherence of those reforms to the European principles of public administration – reliability and predictability, openness and transparency, accountability, and efficiency and effectiveness. Correspondingly, the conclusions of the report focus on the perceived quality of public services rendered to citizens, the economy and different societal groups, against the background of standards common to the EU. Narrower aspects of public administration reform policies, such as changes to legislation and administrative procedures of governments and/or civil services, remain beyond the scope of analysis.
