To coincide with the celebration of the National City Governments Day today, Friday 24 April 2015, the Medina administration launched a new Municipal Public Administration Monitoring System during a ceremony at the Presidential Palace attended by President Danilo Medina.
The software monitors city governments in order to improve municipal management. It created a coordination space between the main government ministries and public institutions that support the city governments and help with the preparation of joint plans.
As well as ensuring transparency and accountability, a key objective is to contribute comprehensive solutions to municipal problems by professionalizing the human resources, planning and the social participation. Dominican Municipalities Federation (FEDOMU) president, Mayor Juan de los Santos, spoke during the event and advocated for a national policy and mechanisms aimed at reaching the stage where local governments can achieve quality management targets. “We need tools that help us to understand and make evident this reality, that allow us to better diagnose where we are in the management of our city governments,” he said.
