In addition, part of the funds of this financial plan will be used to provide the opportunity to increase the knowledge, skills, professionalism, qualification of PPA employees. The knowledge and experience gained during the trainings, workshops and study visits to institutions analogous to the PPA in EU Member States will manifest as a quality of the outcome of the experts’ work in the performance of their duties - higher results, higher efficiency, better motivation and confidence in the performance of the tasks. For the PPA, as an institution assisting the Minister of Finance in the implementation of public procurement policy, it is of utmost importance to have a well-prepared, professionally competent and motivated administrative capacity. It is expected that all this will affect indirectly, in a positive way, the entire process of awarding and conducting lawful public procurement and reducing the committed infringements and irregularities.
