In a move aimed at reinforcing governance and public service delivery, the Valencian regional government advanced several structural efforts. Earlier, the Valencian administration approved a decree that sets out the framework for how Consell operates and organizes its functions, with a focus on the Valencia School of Public Administration (EVAP). The First Vice President and Spokesperson highlighted that this step supports the creation of a robust, horizontal governing body for public service. This body is tasked with selecting, training, updating, and improving public administration personnel while also driving research, analysis, and dissemination of related topics. The objective is to ensure a skilled workforce that can respond to evolving public needs and maintain high standards of accountability across departments.

The decree also signals a broader integration of unions into various administrative bodies and the public institution, extending to the education sector and related organizations. This alignment occurs amid ongoing efforts to stabilize employment and a schedule of new calls for positions. The government notes that integrating unions into the governance process is part of strengthening workforce stability and ensuring transparent, merit-based recruitment practices.

In another development during the same plenary session, the Consell granted formal approval to a decree aimed at regulating quality within the Valencian public system and social services. The immediate impact involves reorganizing the regional public framework into 21 departments and initiating a phased recruitment of seven auditors annually. By 2026, the administration aims to assemble a 28-member quality oversight team dedicated to maintaining high standards across the system. This reorganization is presented as a means to enhance efficiency, oversight, and the consistency of service delivery for citizens relying on public services. (citation: official decree summaries)
Separately, the Vice President and Minister for Equality and Inclusive Policies introduced a corporate video tied to the March 8 project. Entitled “Going out,” the production invites residents to participate in upcoming events commemorating International Women’s Day, reinforcing the government’s commitment to gender equality and inclusive policy initiatives.

The discussions underscore a broader agenda in which governance bodies, social services, and educational entities seek improved coordination. Officials emphasize that these reforms are designed to foster better decision-making, accountability, and responsiveness to local needs. Stakeholders and observers alike are watching how these changes will unfold in practice, including how the new department structure will interact with frontline public service offices and how audits will be integrated into ongoing performance evaluation.
