Federacion Canaria De Municipios Fecam

What Federacion Canaria De Municipios Fecam does

Federación Canaria de Municipios (FECAM) is a non-profit public federation under Spanish law (NIF G76730399) that represents all 88 municipalities (ayuntamientos) across the 8 Canary Islands: Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, La Palma, La Gomera, El Hierro, and La Graciosa. The federation functions as the institutional voice and shared services intermediary for local governments in the archipelago, coordinating training, administrative modernization, European fund distribution, and inter-municipal cooperation on behalf of its members.

Its core offerings comprise the institutional Web Portal, the Sede Electrónica (electronic headquarters) for digital administrative procedures, the Perfil del Contratante (public contractor profile), the Portal de Transparencia, the Plan de Medidas Antifraude (anti-fraud reporting channel), the Servicio de Formación (delivered via the Plan Interadministrativo de Formación), and the Ayudas Solidarias grant programs covering regional and international cooperation projects. The technology stack is conventional for public-sector IT: a website built on Lucee with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, two dedicated portals (electronic headquarters and training management at formacion.fecam.es), and integrations limited to Google Analytics and Google Maps. Compliance posture includes WCAG 2.0 AA accessibility (Real Decreto 1112/2018), GDPR / LOPDPGDD data protection, and partially compliant UNE 139803:2012.

FECAM's revenue model is overwhelmingly public: it is funded through membership contributions from the 88 municipalities, training-program subsidies under the Acuerdo de Formación para el Empleo de las Administraciones Públicas (AFEDAP), European funds (Next Generation EU, FEDER, PRTR), and Government of Canarias subsidies for solidarity aid distribution. All training is free to participants, and the federation is staffed by only 5 employees operating from three island offices (Tenerife HQ, Gran Canaria, La Palma). The organization is governed by a Presidency and sectoral commissions (e.g., Cooperation, Youth, Equality and Diversity) and is not privately held.

Others

• Gobierno de Canarias: The regional government of the Canary Islands is FECAM's principal institutional partner and primary funding source. While not a direct peer in business model, it is the entity that commissions and co-governs FECAM's training, FDCAN, and inter-municipal coordination activities.
• NovaGob: NovaGob is a Spanish public innovation network for government professionals. It is a documented partner of FECAM for Public Innovation Laboratories, addressing similar audiences (Spanish public sector employees) and overlapping thematic areas (innovation, digital transformation, public administration modernization).

Broad incumbents

• Council of European Municipalities and Regions (CEMR): CEMR is the broadest European association of local and regional governments. It represents FECAM's type of organization at the pan-European level, engaging in policy advocacy, training, and EU funding-related initiatives for municipal members.
• Federación Española de Municipios y Provincias (FEMP): FEMP is the national federation representing Spanish municipalities and provinces. It is comparable to FECAM because it serves the same function (federation of local governments) but at the national level, providing coordination, training, and advocacy services to Spanish local entities.
• Eurocities: Eurocities is a European network of major cities that facilitates cooperation, knowledge sharing, and EU project participation among municipal governments. Comparable to FECAM in serving as an intermediary channel for EU-funded cooperation among local government members, though at a larger scale.

Regional players

• Federació Valenciana de Municipis i Províncies (FVMP): FVMP is the federation of municipalities and provinces in the Valencian Community. It mirrors FECAM's role in representing and serving local government members within a Spanish autonomous community, providing similar training and support services.
• Federació de Municipis de Catalunya (FMC): FMC is the regional federation of municipalities in Catalonia. It is structurally analogous to FECAM, providing training, institutional support, and coordination services to municipal governments within a single Spanish autonomous community.
