The Portuguese Ombudsman, in association with the Diputado del Común of the Canary Islands, and in collaboration with the Cape Verde Ombudsman and the Médiateur de la République of Senegal, promotes the transnational seminar “Ombudsman Network – building together a more effective, accountable, transparent and ethical administration”. The event will take place on 14 November at the Casa dos Açores, in Lisbon, and on 16 November at the Palácio dos Capitães Generais, in Angra do Heroísmo.
