The Secretary of State for Territorial Policy and Public Function, Francisco Hernández Spínola, has proposed a new forum of the Latin American Center for Administration for Development (CLAD) to exchange ideas and experiences in two specific areas: the modernization of public administration after the pandemic and give a prominent role to regional and local administrations, “engines of innovation and first-hand knowledge of the demands and needs of citizens.”
Hernández Spínola, who spoke on behalf of Minister Carolina Darias at the meeting of the Board of Directors of the CLAD in Lisbon, added that with the presence of the territorial entities “we could continue to advance in understanding and mutual learning while incorporating into the debate the regional and local administrations that are being key in these times”.
