The Modernisation of Public Action: a new chapter in governmental reform

For many years, there have been ongoing efforts to modernize government. The basic aim is to implement public policy decisions more effectively, improve the quality of public services provided by the administration, and reduce public expenditure.

Establishing a broader perimeter, that encompasses the state, with the reform of operators (including social-security entities) and local authorities.

Adopting a more participatory approach by involving agents and users on the basis of their expectations or their expression of potential lines of innovation in order to identify measures to improve public initiatives.

Analyzing the modernization requirements in more detail and the final aims of public initiatives, through the broader systematic assessment of joint public policies, is a great task still to be undertaken.
