Abstract

In 2000, the Innovative Public Services Group (IPSG) of the EUPAN (European Public Administration Network) presented the Common Assessment Framework (CAF). After ten years of CAF in 2010 and more than 2000 registered CAF users, it is time to look again at the state of affairs; what has been achieved in these ten years and, maybe even more importantly, what do we want to achieve in the next ten years? This article will look at the evolution of CAF since its beginning in 2000 and examine where CAF stands in 2010 with more than 2010 registered CAF users in the EIPA CAF Resource Centre database. The milestones and achievements of CAF and its users and promoters up to its tenth birthday will be highlighted. Furthermore, the article will give an overview and a short analysis of how CAF has grown in Europe; where it is applied and in which sectors. It will also describe the development of its content and the shift in maturity that took place during these 10 years.
