Mancomunitat de l'Alcoià i el Comtat

What Mancomunitat de l'Alcoià i el Comtat does

Mancomunitat de l'Alcoià i el Comtat is a public municipal consortium (mancomunidad) founded in 2012 that aggregates resources and delivers shared services for 16 small municipalities in the comarcas of Alcoià and Comtat, in the province of Alicante, Valencian Community, Spain. Its service portfolio spans six functional areas: culture (Cicle Somriu concert series, Ruta de Contacontes storytelling route), youth (STU+ university transport, EMPUJU employment program, youth housing), economic promotion (Agència Impuls with CEEI Alcoi-València, ADL local development agency, Actaio territorial employment pact, annual business competition, Xarxa Xaloc housing office), tourism (20mils web/mobile platform for hiking, cycling, BTT routes; Centro de Interpretación Turística in Alfafara opened May 2022), social services (Novaterra social-labour integration), and shared municipal infrastructure (Centre de Protecció Animal shelter serving 10 municipalities). The organization is led by a President and a Gerente (Manager) with a small core team of 9 employees, supplemented by itinerant service staff and partner program personnel.

The consortium's digital stack consists of two mobile/web platforms built with external vendors: App Mancomunitat Ocupació (an employment matching mobile app built by Synectia Software S.L., supporting CV management, job alerts, and employer postings), and 20mils (a nature tourism platform with iOS/Android apps and Strava integration for the "20 Cims, 20 mils" peak-summit challenge). Administrative back-office runs on the GESTIONA platform from ESPUBLICO Servicios para la Administración Local. Distribution reaches citizens through a physical headquarters at the Àgora building in Alcoy, service points in Muro/Banyeres de Mariola/Cocentaina, the electronic headquarters (Sede Electrònica), and outreach via Facebook, Twitter/X, and Instagram.

As a government entity, the Mancomunitat has no commercial revenue model. It is funded through member-municipality contributions, regional grants from the Generalitat Valenciana, provincial support from the Diputació d'Alacant, EU funds (Next Generation EU), and program-specific subsidies such as Plan Renhata and Bono Joven. No revenue figure is disclosed. The economic logic is not return on capital but cost-sharing: individual small municipalities cannot independently sustain animal shelters, university transport, tourism infrastructure, or business advisory services, so the consortium pools demand and budgets to deliver them at scale.
