It is governed by a Plenum of 27 indirectly elected deputies under President Miquel Noguer i Planas (Junts per Catalunya, second mandate 2024-2027) and operates a network of 10 autonomous organisms and consortia extending service delivery into public health (Dipsalut), municipal administration support (XALOC), music education (Conservatori Isaac Albéniz), tourism promotion (Patronat de Turisme Costa Brava Girona), agricultural genetics (SEMEGA), greenway infrastructure (Consorci Vies Verdes), water supply (Consorci d'Aigües Costa Brava Girona), social services (SUMAR), and natural park conservation (Consorci de les Gavarres).

Its core digital platform is the Seu electrònica (electronic headquarters), backed by an ENS-certified e-government infrastructure. Key digital products include the BOP official provincial bulletin, the e-FACT electronic invoicing service integrated with the Consorci AOC hub under Law 25/2013, the SITMUN cartographic territorial information system, the XIFRA socioeconomic data system, the creditor management platform, the subsidies portal, and the service catalog covering local administration, culture, sports, environment, housing, IT, and tourism. Recent infrastructure investments include the July 2026 inauguration of the L'Escala water treatment plant (14,000 m3/day) and the study of adherence to L'Energètica for renewable municipal energy procurement.

The institution's revenue model is non-commercial: it is funded through annual provincial budgets (tax receipts, state transfers, and EU funds including NextGenerationEU and FEDER 2021-2027), with no fees charged to municipalities for core services. Its 2026 budget was definitively approved on 19 December 2025. The Mandate Plan 2024-2027 articulates 8 strategic axes with 225 evaluable actions, structured around continued investment in territorial infrastructure, digital modernization, environmental conservation, and municipal assistance.

Direct peers

• Diputació de Barcelona: The other major Catalan diputació, providing identical statutory municipal-coordination services within Barcelona province. Operates a parallel service catalog (assistance, e-government, subsidies, organisms) at larger scale, making it the most direct functional comparator for benchmarking service portfolio and digital infrastructure investment.
• Diputació de Tarragona: Catalan diputación with the same constitutional mandate and organizational template, coordinating municipalities within Tarragona province. Provides the closest jurisdictional peer for shared-services benchmarking under identical Catalan regulatory frameworks.
• Diputació de Lleida: Third Catalan diputación, operating with the same legal mandate and service model across Lleida province. Comparable to Girona in scale and rural/small-municipality mix, making it a natural operational comparator.
• Diputació de València: Large Spanish diputación under the Valencian regional framework, providing municipal coordination across the Valencia province. Comparable institutional mandate and service breadth, though operating under a different autonomous-community regulatory environment.
• Diputació de Castelló: Valencian provincial deputation with the same constitutional mandate to coordinate municipalities. Smaller in scale than Girona but operationally analogous.
• Diputació d'Alacant: Alicante provincial deputation under the Valencian framework, providing shared services and municipal coordination. Comparable mandate, though with a different territorial and demographic mix.

Broad incumbents

• Generalitat de Catalunya: The regional autonomous-government authority above the Diputació de Girona, with overlapping competencies in territory, environment, culture, education, and social services. Functions as both a coordinator and a potential institutional successor via the consells de vegueries reform pathway.

Others

• Consorci AOC (Administració Oberta de Catalunya): Catalan Open Administration Consortium operating the e-FACT hub and broader interoperability platform that the Diputació integrates with for electronic invoicing and authentication. A core enabling technology counterpart rather than a competitor.
• Localret: Consortium of Catalan local governments for ICT and digital transformation. Provides shared digital services and infrastructure to municipalities, partially overlapping with the Diputació's electronic-administration mandate and serving as a coordination forum.
• Federación Española de Municipios y Provincias (FEMP): National association representing Spanish municipalities and provinces, providing policy advocacy, training, and coordination at the state level. Indirect peer relevant for benchmarking best practice and federal funding strategy rather than direct service competition.
