The research activities are aimed at improving the functioning and organisation of public administration, with a particular focus on local administrations and public services.

Special emphasis is placed on the National Health System, focusing on its role as a service provider that should ensure equitable access to healthcare in a sustainable manner.

In response to the increasing accountability of public institutions at the local level, the initiative seeks to improve performance evaluation, enhance resilience to structural shocks, and strengthen the tools used by public administration for the procurement of external goods and services.

To achieve this objective, it designs, collects, and validates analytical tools aimed at measuring performance.
