Office of the Federal Government

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The office of the federal government was a projected Austrian authority of the federal government Faymann II . According to the government program from 2013, the task of this authority should be to enable efficiency and effectiveness to be increased by bundling and coordinating personnel, IT and support tasks as well as by performing controlling tasks for the outsourced legal entities and other subsidiary institutions of the federal government.

In May 2014, the timetable for installing the authority was announced by the federal government, and it should start operating at the beginning of 2016. Which competencies, e.g. For example, it was not clear at this time whether the head of the agency should have access to all federal staff. In the course of the presentation of the tax reform in March 2015, the office of the federal government was named as a component of the administrative reform. A federal administration college should also be affiliated to the office. This should act as a central training facility for all basic training courses of the general administration, including the training facilities of the departments and maintaining department-specific training priorities. In the final stage, this university should be a university training center (for Bachelor and Master’s degrees) for public administration (federal, state, cities and municipalities) on the basis of educational cooperation with universities. Ideas for the office of the federal government go back to the year 2005, after the end of the Austria Convention .

In July 2015 State Secretary Sonja Steßl presented the first concept proposals for the new office, such as a uniform corporate design for the federal government.

In the course of the domestic political challenges posed by the refugee crisis in 2015 and the resignation of Chancellor Werner Faymann in May 2016, the project was not pursued any further. The concept was no longer mentioned in the government program presented by the Federal Government Kurz I in December 2017.
