What Consell Comarcal de l'Alt Empordà does

Consell Comarcal de l'Alt Empordà is a county-level public administration entity (Consell Comarcal) headquartered at C/ Nou 48, Figueres, Catalonia, Spain. It coordinates and delivers delegated public services on behalf of the Generalitat de Catalunya and 68 member municipalities across the Alt Empordà comarca — the most municipality-dense comarca in Catalonia. Service areas span social welfare and inclusion (Welfare, Social Inclusion and Equality — 6.7M€ budget, 177 staff, 10,191 persons served in 2024), education support (school transport and meal scholarships for ~5,000 families annually), technical assistance to municipalities (urban planning, infrastructure), electronic administration (Seu-e.cat, digital certification, transparency portal), tourism promotion (joint Espais Medievals program with Baix Empordà, Empordà Turisme), environmental management, economic promotion (Empordà Actiu portal), consumer affairs (637 consultations, 374 mediations in 2025), youth, culture, sports, and housing.

The 2026 approved budget is €46,959,473.25, a 5.09% increase over 2025, with 92% derived from affected financing (Generalitat subsidies, municipal contributions, Fons de Cooperació Local). The entity is governed by elected officials led by President Agustí Badosa, with department heads covering welfare (Miquel Brugat), education (Júlia Gil), economic promotion (Joan Cano), tourism (Pere Casellas), and culture (Josep Maria Bernils). Core technology consists of internal IT services (Informàtica i Noves Tecnologies), an electronic administration support office, and a transparency unit — all conventional e-government infrastructure rather than commercial software products. The business model is managed public services funded through taxation and intergovernmental transfers; citizens access services largely free at point of use. The entity is not a commercial enterprise and does not raise venture funding, seek M&A, or generate commercial revenue; its strategic motions are regulatory approvals, multi-year contract programs, EU-funded cross-border collaborations (e.g., coParticiPA with University of Barcelona and POCTEFA), and partnerships with provincial (Diputació de Girona) and neighboring comarca institutions.
