Event | Administrative Capacity: Definitions, Measurement, Policies and Economic Impacts
What is the level of administrative capacity of Italian municipalities, and how has it changed following the interventions and reforms introduced through the National Recovery and Resilience Plan and Cohesion policy? These questions were at the heart of the closing event of the project, 'Administrative Capacity: Definitions, Measurement, Policies and Economic Impacts', which took place at the Scuola Nazionale dell'Amministrazione (SNA) in Rome and online on February 24th. The event was opened by SNA’s Vice-President, Professor Remo Morzenti Pellegrini. The project, funded by the Italian Ministry of University and Research (PRIN Project), was led by Professor Ugo Fratesi (Politecnico di Milano) and Professor Laura Polverari (Università degli Studi di Padova), and spanned over two years, allowing the project team to develop sophisticated new measures of local-level administrative capacity, assess its impact on policy performance, and undertake detailed case study research on selected Italian municipalities. A summary of the discussions can be found attached to this article.
