The NQP has been set up since 2015 in a participatory manner with the involvement of all stakeholders; which makes it a strategic document federating the different expectations. Previously, quality issues were dealt with in several different official documents. This evolution has provided a holistic view of quality and helped set priorities in the budget process in the years that followed.

Today, the Institute of Quality Management and Intellectual Property (IGQPI), created with the support of the Quality Programme Phase 2 (2007 - 2012), is expected to play a major role in the implementation, in particular through the costed action plan developed with the support of the PSQAO.
