Antigua City Council Joins Regional Cooperation Framework

Overview

On October 16, 2025, the Antigua city council formally agreed to join a regional cooperation framework aimed at improving employment and reservation lists for hiring temporary public sector staff in the Canary Islands.

This move aligns Antigua with a broader agreement signed in December 2024 between the Community of the Canary Islands and FECAM, a federation of local authorities.

Purpose and Benefits

  • The adhesion officializes Antigua's commitment to the existing cooperation deal, which facilitates the sharing and management of employment opportunities among public administrations.
  • The move promises more streamlined processes for appointing temporary workers, benefiting residents seeking employment in government roles.
  • The signing of the agreement ensures Antigua will follow the rules on data protection and transparency, reinforcing legal safeguards for personal information.
  • It sets a timeline that extends until the original cooperation agreement’s expiry, with options for renewal or non-renewal communicated at least a month before expiration.

Significance

This development matters for residents and potential future public servants since it promotes transparency and easier access to employment opportunities within the regional public sector network.

  • It also demonstrates ongoing efforts to modernize public administration and foster cooperation among authorities in the Canary Islands.
