Linking Reform to Results for the Country and its Regions
In 2014, Spain launched a set of administrative reforms called “The CORA reform” as
part of broader fiscal reforms. The CORA was a comprehensive and ambitious programme
to create conditions for a more transparent public administration closer to citizens
and businesses. The reforms were the subject of an OECD Public Governance Review undertaken
in 2014. This progress report, the first of its kind, analyses how the OECD recommendations
in the 2014 review have been implemented so far at the national level. In addition,
it describes how the autonomous communities Galicia and Murcia have implemented the
recommendations, and discusses the challenges that remain for achieving effective
co-ordination and closer collaboration between the central and the regional levels
in the area of public sector reform.
