RED FEMP Transparencia y Participación

What RED FEMP Transparencia y Participación does

FEMP (Federación Española de Municipios y Provincias) is a non-profit public federation founded in 1981 that represents and defends the interests of Spanish local governments — Ayuntamientos (municipalities), Diputaciones (provincial councils), Cabildos and Consells Insulars (island councils) — at the national and EU level. It operates as a membership-based association headquartered in Madrid, providing its constituent entities with representation, advocacy (including Brussels-level engagement on European funds), subsidies information, good-practices sharing, thematic working commissions, training, and assembly/networking forums. The federation's service delivery runs through a multilingual web portal (Spanish, Catalan, Galician, Basque, English, French) powered by eBDsoft technology, supplemented by RSS syndication, electronic newsletters, photo/audio archives, and a dedicated training portal at formacion.femp.es.

FEMP's core product surface consists of digital services (institutional website, Datos Entidades Locales database, multimedia archives) and member services (subsidies, agreements, thematic commissions). A notable sub-brand is the Spain Convention Bureau (SCB), a FEMP section dedicated to promoting Spain as a congress and meetings destination; SCB represents 56 local entities including 46 provincial capitals, maintains a flagship collaboration agreement with the Secretaría de Estado de Turismo, and coordinates with Turespaña, Segittur and INE. Additional institutional partnerships span Social Security and Sedigas on professional matters. FEMP is governed by elected mayors serving as federation officers; the current president (since September 2023) is María José García-Pelayo Jurado, Alcaldesa de Jerez de Frontera.

The business model is non-commercial: FEMP operates as a public-sector association funded via member dues and public collaboration agreements, with no disclosed commercial pricing, no revenue figures, no funding rounds, and no private-equity or parent ownership. GTM is community-led and direct, mediated entirely through the federation structure rather than market-based sales motion.
