October 23, 2014
Representatives of the Government Innovation Authority of Panama and the Municipal Planning Institute of Mexico, as winners of the Inter-American Prize for Innovation in Effective Public Management 2014 granted by the Organization of American States (OAS) completed this week an internship in the Spanish Basque country to learn about its public management models.
This activity is part of the engagement letter signed between the OAS and the Government of the Basque Country in March 2014, which aims to help in the planning for improving the public management of the countries of the Hemisphere. In this context, the selected officials, Luis Fernando Graham Velver, General Coordinator of the Municipal Planning Institute of the City of Puebla, in Mexico; and Pablo A. Ruidiaz, Director of Internet, Inclusion and Mobility of the National Authority for Government Innovation in Panama, learned firsthand about the transparency and participation in public policy initiatives undertaken in the Basque Country.
As part of the internship, the representatives of the winning institutions of the awards in the categories of Open Government and Innovation for Planning and Evaluation of public policies met with agency officials of the Basque Country such as the General Secretary for Foreign Action, Marian Elorza; the Director of Citizen Services and Innovation and Improvement of the Administration, Javier Bikandi; the Director of Open Government, Luis Petrikorena; and the Technician on Foreign Affairs, Estibaliz Urcelay.
The Inter-American Prize for Innovation in Effective Public Management is an activity of the OAS Department for Effective Public Management (DGPE) that seeks to identify innovations on public management that the different administrations of the Americas perform, in order to reward, recognize, systematize, encourage and promote them as useful and possible experiences to replicate elsewhere.
