The National Recovery and Resilience Plan places at the core of public sector reform the enhancement and development of human capital, to be achieved by investing in training, upskilling and reskilling actions. For the first time in the history of PA in Italy, the innovative aspect is not only the volume of investment - which is unprecedented - but, above all, the implementation of the actions themselves with aim at structurally strengthening administrations.
The correlation between the topic of training and administrative capacity building offers a strategic perspective and a "meaningful framework" for developing the relevant actions, the identification of the players that can organize and provide training to civil servant and the engagement of administrations and public employees themselves.
More specifically, this perspective allows to include and project individual and organizational training needs within the broader capacity building strategic needs; than, it makes administrative capacity the tool to measure the impact of training and investment in human capital development in public administration.
