ADMINISTRATIVE COORDINATION OFFICE REPORTS 70% REDUCTION IN INTERDEPARTMENTAL CONFLICTS

• Seven Months After Creation, Administrative Coordination Office Shows Dramatic Improvement In Government Functionality With 70% Reduction In Interdepartmental Disputes And 42% Faster Policy Implementation
• Director Isabel Vásquez Credits Success To New Standardized Communication Protocols, Collaborative Decision-Making Frameworks, And Regular Cross-Department Coordination Meetings Involving Over 450 Senior Officials
• Independent Audit Confirms Government Operations Have Achieved 85% Compliance With Administrative Best Practices, Up From Just 37% When Office Was Established Following Leaked Documents Crisis
• Public Administration Committee Praises Reforms But Warns That 213 Senior Positions Remain Unfilled, With Technical Departments Facing Critical Staffing Shortages Despite Recruitment Drive
• Federal Bank Reports Economic Benefits Of Streamlined Government Operations Include NAX€820 Million In Administrative Cost Savings And More Responsive Policy Implementation During Housing Crisis

Cárdenas, FCD -- The Administrative Coordination Office (ACO) has achieved a 70% reduction in interdepartmental conflicts and a 42% improvement in policy implementation speed, according to its first comprehensive performance report released yesterday. These dramatic improvements come just six months after the office was established as part of Premier Juan Pablo Jimenez's emergency response to widespread government dysfunction.

"We have fundamentally transformed how the federal government operates," declared ACO Director Isabel Vásquez during a presentation at Government House. "By implementing standardized communication protocols and collaborative decision frameworks, we've eliminated the paralyzing confusion that previously hampered effective governance."

The 127-page report details comprehensive reforms across all 13 federal departments, with particularly notable improvements in coordination between the Department of Treasury and the Department of Housing and Urban Development, which had previously issued contradictory directives during the early phases of the housing crisis.

The reforms implemented by Vásquez's team include mandatory weekly coordination meetings for all department secretaries, standardized documentation protocols, and a new digital platform that provides real-time visibility into policy development across the government. "Over 450 senior officials now participate in regular cross-departmental planning sessions, ensuring alignment on national priorities," Vásquez explained.

An independent audit conducted by the Institute of Public Administration confirms the ACO's impact, finding that government operations now achieve 85% compliance with established administrative best practices, compared to just 37% before the reforms. "The transformation in operational efficiency is unprecedented in modern governance," noted lead auditor Marcus Chen.

Despite these achievements, the Public Administration Committee of the Federal Assembly highlighted remaining challenges in its response to the report. Committee Chair Deputy Roberto Alvarez (FHP) praised the overall progress while noting concern that 213 senior positions remain vacant across the government.

"Technical departments face particularly acute staffing shortages," Alvarez stated during oversight hearings yesterday. "While administrative processes have improved dramatically, we need qualified personnel to execute the government's ambitious programs, particularly in emerging technology sectors."

The Federal Bank of Nouvelle Alexandrie has quantified the economic impact of these administrative improvements, estimating NAX€820 million in direct administrative cost savings since the reforms began. "More efficient government operations have reduced waste, accelerated economic initiatives, and improved regulatory responsiveness," noted Federal Bank Governor Elena Rodriguez in a statement accompanying the report.

Business leaders have responded positively to the changes. "The transformation is palpable," said Maria Santiago, president of the Chamber of Commerce of Nouvelle Alexandrie. "Permit applications that previously took months now receive responses within weeks, and we're seeing consistent regulatory guidance instead of contradictory directives."

Opposition leader Gabrielle Fitzgerald acknowledged the improvements while maintaining a critical perspective. "While we commend the progress in administrative efficiency, these reforms address how policies are implemented, not the fundamental direction of those policies," she stated. "The government remains committed to market-based solutions that have failed to adequately address our housing crisis."

Director Vásquez announced next steps that include expanding the ACO's focus to regional-federal coordination issues, developing advanced training programs for civil servants, and implementing artificial intelligence tools to further streamline administrative processes. "This is just the beginning of a comprehensive transformation of public administration across the Federation," she concluded.

Premier Jimenez, who attended the report presentation, credited the reforms with enabling his government to more effectively respond to national challenges. "Efficient administration is the foundation of effective governance," he stated. "The success of these reforms demonstrates that when we focus on practical improvements, we can deliver better outcomes for all New Alexandrians."

The Public Administration Committee has scheduled follow-up hearings for III.1742 AN to review progress on the remaining staffing challenges and assess additional reform measures.
