Systematic REPARIS Approach

The REPARIS Program is designed around the introduction, implementation, and effective enforcement of relevant portions of the EU acquis communautaire with a view to contribute to foreign direct and portfolio investment, foster private and financial sector developments, and facilitate eventual integration into (or harmonization with) the European Union.  Importantly, the program is built on a robust analytical underpinning, the A&A ROSC and a systematic approach to the development of a multi-faceted reform program.
