Overview

In order to respond effectively to the need for innovation and efficient services of social value, the Public Administration and the Third Sector are called upon to rethink their mutual relationships according to the collaborative logic of shared administration.
As expressly recognized by art. 6 of the new Public Procurement Code, in fact, the Public Administration can prepare, in relation to activities with a strong social value, organizational models of shared administration, free of synallagmatic relationships, based on the sharing of the administrative function with the Third Sector entities.
The new practices governed by art. 55 CTS represent, therefore, "a real proceduralization of the subsidiary action" (Constitutional Court, sentence no. 131/2020) which presupposes, for the purposes of correct implementation, specific skills and knowledge.

 

The Executive Programme provides the specialist knowledge necessary for the construction and management of shared administration paths that fully express the innovative logics recently provided for by the legal system on the basis of the principle of subsidiarity, with particular attention to the institutions provided for and governed by art. 55 of the Third Sector Code (Legislative Decree no. 117/2017), to be able to positively affect the social structure of the territories, allowing a better aggregation of resources (economic and otherwise) useful for mitigating the fragmentation of public policies.

OBJECTIVES AND MICRO-CREDENTIALS:

  • Acquire the knowledge and skills to structure and govern the shared administration procedures (co-programming and co-design) provided for and governed by the Third Sector Code and Ministerial Guidelines no. 72/2021, on the basis of a solid theoretical and technical preparation, consolidated through specific workshop sessions
