The Secretariat of State for the Civil Service (Secretaría de Estado de Función Pública, SEFP) is a component of the Spanish Department of Finance and Civil Service responsible for the government policy on General State Administration's civil servants and other policies regarding civil servants of the regional and local administrations. It also exercises the powers related to e-administration.

The department was created in April 2009 to assume the civil servant management powers from the Secretariat of State for Public Administration, as well as the e-administration responsibilities. The head of the SEFP is the Secretary of State, a non-Cabinet member appointed by the Monarch with the advice of the Minister for Finance.

The SEFP is integrated by three major departments, the Directorate-General for the Civil Service, the Directorate-General for Public Governance and the Conflicts of Interests Office; and a minor department, the Strategic Planning Office.

History

The SEFP was created in the government reform of April 2009, which integrated the responsibilities on civil servants in the Ministry of the Presidency, which formerly had the Ministry of Public Administrations through its Secretariat of State for Public Administration.[1] The SEFP was integrated by the secretary of state and the directors-general for the Civil Service, for the Promotion of Electronic Administration, and of Administrative Organization Procedures.[2]

In October 2010, the Ministry of Territorial Policy and Public Administration is recovered and it re-assumes the powers on the civil service by assuming the Secretariat of State.[3] This dependency hardly lasts a year because at the end of 2011 the change of government causes the abolishment of the ministry and the secretariat of state that is integrated into the Ministry of Finance and its powers are transferred to the Secretariat of State for Public Administrations.[4]

The 2016 government reform recovers once again the Secretariat of State for the Civil Service and it increases its powers by adding to its structure the Directorate-General for Public Governance, the Conflicts of Interests Office and the General Secretariat for Digital Administration.[5]

In June 2018, the Ministry of Territorial Policy is recovered and it assumes the Secretariat of State. In 2020, the secretariat of state is abolished and its powers were transferred to the Secretariat of State for Territorial Policy. In July 2021, the body was recovered.
