The Federal Public Service (FPS) Policy and Support was set up on 1 March 2017. The FPS assists the government and supports the federal organisations in various areas: IT, HR, organisational control and integrity policy, budget, accounting and public procurement contracts.
The FPS Policy and Support is the result of the integration of the agencies of the FPS Personnel and Organisation (including Selor, OFO/IFA, FED+ and PersoPoint), of the FPS Budget and Management Control, of Fedict and of Empreva into one entity. The project should be seen in the general context of the ‘redesign’ of the federal government which was started by the government in its agreement of 9 October 2014.
