The Spanish Cooperation entity specialised in promoting the participation of public administrations in Spanish and European cooperation programmes and projects.
We support the development of public systems in more than 120 countries. We do so by mobilising public sector talent to foster the exchange of knowledge and experience between counterpart institutions from different countries. As a public foundation, our work forms part of Spain’s and Europe’s external action. We believe in the value of public institutions to improve people’s lives and protect the planet.
We work under a dual mandate:
At FIAP we believe in the power of public policies and institutions to create a better world.
Because they are the beginning of change, for more people, for a longer period.
The appointment of the members of the Board of Trustees is linked to the political position they hold, which is published in the BOE. Both their identification and their professional trajectory can be consulted in the Transparency Portal.
The Permanent Commission of the Board of Trustees exercises the functions delegated by the plenary. Since the FIIAPP mobilizes internationally the public talent of Spanish public institutions, the Permanent Commission is chaired by the Secretary of State for International Cooperation. It is made up of the following members of the Board of Trustees, as stated in the Foundation’s statute:
The appointment of the members of the Permanent Comission is linked to the political office they hold, which is published in the BOE. Both their identification and their professional trajectory can be consulted in the Transparency Portal.
The Advisory Committee is the body that advises, consults and supports the Board of Trustees with regard to the programming and execution of the activities of the FIIAPP.
