  • The International and Ibero-American Foundation for Administration and Public Policies (Spanish: Fundación Internacional y para Iberoamérica de Administración y Políticas Públicas, FIIAPP) is a public sector foundation under the Spanish state and a member institution of Cooperación Española, the Spanish government cooperation agency. It works to improve public systems in more than 100 countries by managing international cooperation projects.
    FIIAPP operates within the framework of Spanish foreign policy, and the foundation supports the international activity of the Spanish Administration in its priority geographic and action areas.


    Origin


    The foundation was formed in 1998, under the name Ibero-American Government and Public Policy Foundation, [Fundación Iberoamericana de Gobierno y Políticas Públicas], with the mission of working on technical cooperation with public administrations in other countries, fundamentally Ibero-America.
    In 2000 it was merged with the Ibero-American Institute of Public Administration Foundation [Fundación Instituto Iberoamericano de Administración Pública] (created in 1997), giving rise to the International and Ibero-American Foundation for Administration and Public Policies (FIIAPP).
    Today FIIAPP is an integral part of the Spanish Cooperation system, and manages technical cooperation projects funded by the European Union and the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation.


    Projects


    The International and Ibero-American Foundation for Administration and Public Policies works at the service of public administrations by managing the participation of their various agencies in technical cooperation projects, thereby promoting their internationalisation and Brand Spain.
    FIIAPP manages international cooperation projects oriented towards improving public administrations in the countries where it works. It does so through the exchange of experiences between Spanish experts and their counterparts in the beneficiary institutions of the countries where it works. FIIAP together with Estonian e-Governance Academy implements the EU4DigitalUA project to support Ukrainian digital transformation and harmonisation with the EU Digital Single Market.
    In addition, it dedicates some of its efforts to other activities, such as producing studies on administrations and public policies (R&D+i), as well as training public sector employees.
    FIIAPP is the institution in Spain with responsibility for managing the Twinning programme of the European Union and is the eligible body, along with AECID and COFIDES, for managing EU delegated cooperation projects. As such, it is part of the European cooperation system.
