Our project for the first time takes stock of the development and implementation of whole-of-government approaches (WGAs) to external conflict and crisis management in the EU and all its member states.
The 29 reports examine how steep the learning curve in the development of WGA strategies has actually been.
Together with CEPS , the Bertelsmann Stiftung’s ‘Europe’s Future’ programme collected data on WGA implementation and institutional best practices in order to motivate governments across Europe to achieve better policy coherence.

successful implementation of a WGA can be identified.
