About This Organization

CAIMED has been established following an agreement between the Government of Italy and the United Nations who signed on 21 May 2002 a Memorandum of Understanding for the "Promotion of Exchange of Innovation in Public Administration" in the Euro-Mediterranean region. The Government of Italy, represented by the Department of Public Administration, through FORMEZ - Study and Training Centre, and the United Nations, represented by the Department of Economic and Social Affairs, agreed to cooperate in the implementation of activities to be carried out by the "Centre for Exchange of Administrative Innovation between Europe and the Mediterranean Region" (CAIMED) in order to promote, strengthen and support improved modalities of cooperation between FORMEZ and UNDESA. The Centre for Administrative Innovation in the Euro-Mediterranean Region - CAIMED, jointly managed by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA) and FORMEZ- Study and Training Centre, is a centre of excellence on public administration in the Euro-Mediterranean region which aims at sharing experiences in public administration innovation. Its ultimate goal is to support good governance in the region. The Centre is also an On-line Regional Centre of the United Nations Global Online Public Administration Network. The Centre does not have autonomous legal status, but it is a common service offered by UNDESA and FORMEZ who collaborate in the implementation of various activities in the field of public administration innovation. These activities are summarized in a joint work plan approved annually by the Steering Committee of CAIMED (see para. 9). For each activity either UNDESA or FORMEZ acts as the leading institution, but it counts on the collaboration of the other partner. Therefore, some activities will be managed directly by UNDESA with the support of FORMEZ and others will be managed directly by FORMEZ with the support of UNDESA.
