Good Practices and Innovations in Public Governance 2003-2011

Good Practices and InnovATIONS in Public Governance
• The Quality and Efficiency Project is a plan of collaboration with major business
organisations for the establishment of working groups to promote efficiency
and quality in public administration;
• The Governance Project is aimed at initiating collaboration between ministries,
regions, and local bodies to plan and implement systems that facilitate
effective public administration; and
• The Cantieri Project provides coordinated central government support for innovation
in the public sector.
Today, PADEA is committed to promoting and introducing modernization processes
in public administration through consensual methods. The objective is for innovation
of the administrative system to become a shared goal amongst stakeholders rather
than it being perceived as a centrally imposed change. Local authorities have begun
to come together to share their know-how and expertise or to exchange experiences
gathered in specific fields. Training seminars, distance learning, and the establishment
of professional communities are central to the spread of the initiatives. With
this in mind, PADEA has initiated an important program for strengthening two of its
principal training institutes, SSPA (School of Public Administration) and Formez,
which are directly involved in the implementation of the three projects.
