CUG Activities and Reports

Among the actions that public administration must put into place to achieve the objectives set by Directive No. 2 of June 26, 2019, proper planning and programming are required. The Directive states that the CUG, as part of its propositional function, must develop a Positive Action Plan (PAP) aimed at removing barriers that prevent the full realization of equal opportunities in the workplace.

CUGs must then submit an Annual Report to the Administrative leadership/Governing body of their organization, assessing the personnel situation of the previous year. This report must include a dedicated section on the implementation of the PAP. The planning of positive actions is incorporated into Section 5 of the Integrated Activity and Organization Plan (PIAO).
