    Description
    The technical assistance – its first phase of contextual analysis and technical recommendations, the second one allowing to observe the real practice of administrative workflows in the execution of sentences – helped the Instituto de Seguridad y Servicios Sociales de los Trabajadores del Estado (ISSSTE) to lay down an internal strategy and adopt organizational tools allowing to reduce the time needed for the execution of sentences on claims brought by social security right-holders. At the same time, the Action actually improved intra-department communication and workflows. The measures introduced under the experts’ guidance produced practical and visible effects in the short term, with a significant reduction in the time needed to execute sentences. An ISSSTE delegation travelled to Madrid to observe the organizational practices of the Spanish Ministry of Social Affairs in the field of claims’ management.
