stjórnsýslukerfisins

Stjórnsýslukerfið is the Icelandic term for the administrative system or public administration system of Iceland. It encompasses all governmental bodies and agencies responsible for implementing and enforcing laws, providing public services, and managing the state's affairs. This includes ministries, directorates, local governments, and other public institutions. The primary goal of the stjórnsýslukerfið is to ensure the effective and efficient operation of the state and to serve the needs of the public. It is structured to uphold the principles of democracy, accountability, and transparency. The Icelandic stjórnsýslukerfið operates under a parliamentary system, where the government is accountable to the Althingi, the Icelandic parliament. Key aspects of its functioning include policy development, law enactment, public service delivery in areas such as healthcare, education, and infrastructure, as well as regulatory oversight. The system is designed to be responsive to societal changes and to promote the well-being of the Icelandic population. Its organization and operations are governed by various laws and regulations that define the roles, responsibilities, and relationships between different administrative entities.
