Canary Islands' 2025 Grants Initiative

Overview

During the first three months of 2025, the Canary Islands' Ministry of Education, Vocational Training, Sports, and Physical Activity awarded several grants without open competition.

This process follows legal provisions requiring transparency and the public disclosure of such aid, especially when no competitive call was made. The government clarifies that these grants are justified by the specific nature of the programs involved, and they are listed publicly in official bulletins.

Transparency and Legal Compliance

This move aligns with updated transparency laws, which mandate the publication of aid details—recipient entities, amounts, and objectives—within a set timeframe.

For residents, this means:

• Greater clarity on how public funds are allocated
• Ensuring accountability
• Allowing special programs to proceed smoothly without traditional bidding processes

Official Statement

"This transparency effort aims to keep the public informed about aid dispensed without competition, underscoring the importance of openness in public administration."

The official resolution, signed by the technical secretary, emphasizes this commitment.

The details of these grants are available in an annex to the resolution, accessible through the official bulletin.

Conclusion

Overall, this measure showcases the Canary Islands' commitment to transparency in managing public funds and assures residents that aid delivery complies with legal standards, even outside the usual competitive process.
