Secretaria Nacional de la Administración Publica

What Secretaria Nacional de la Administración Publica does

The Secretaria Nacional de la Administración Publica, legally operating as SNAI – Servicio Nacional de Atención Integral a Personas Adultas Privadas de la Libertad y a Adolescentes Infractores, is a state entity of the Ecuadorian national public administration. It is the sole national service mandated to deliver integral care, custody, and social rehabilitation for adults deprived of liberty and adolescent offenders across Ecuador, operating under the Política Pública de Rehabilitación Social 2022-2025 and reporting through the executive branch under the Presidency of Ecuador.

Its core operational platform is the SNAI system (atencionintegral.gob.ec), which coordinates Centers for Deprivation of Liberty (Centros de Privación de Libertad, CSVP), electronic surveillance programs, statistical monitoring, and reintegration services including health, education, and labor pathways. Supporting infrastructure includes the Quipux electronic document management system, the Plan Anual de Contratación for procurement, Rendición de Cuentas for accountability reporting, and the La Paradoja Podcast as a transparency and citizen-engagement channel. SNAI is operationally integrated with the wider Ecuadorian e-government ecosystem, including gob.ec (citizen portal), Firma Electrónica, eSigef and eSipren (finance), Compras Públicas (procurement), ECU 911 (security), SocioEmpleo (labor), and the Sistema Nacional de Información.

SNAI is not a commercial entity. Its services are delivered as public state functions and are not commercially priced; resourcing comes from Ecuadorian national budget allocations and it maintains no private shareholders or commercial revenue. Its customer segments are the captive national population of persons deprived of liberty and adolescent offenders, served through institutional and inter-ministerial coordination rather than market-facing go-to-market activity.
