The State Agency for Digital Administration was created in accordance with the provisions of the additional provision hundredth seventh of Law 22/2021, of December 28, of General State Budgets for the year 2022. On 5 November 2024, the Council of Ministers adopted the Royal Decree approving the Statute of the State Agency for Digital Administration, which transforms the current General Secretariat for Digital Administration into an Agency.
The new agency will provide common services and infrastructures, which will result in savings in the unit costs of ICT services in AGE, mainly in the recurring expenditure and investment chapters. In addition, this work will allow the different departmental ICT units to specialize and dedicate themselves exclusively to the needs of their respective users, increasing their efficiency and effectiveness.
