Commitment Title

Proactive publication of information related to communal management and services

Problem

The municipality produces a large and diversified amount of information related to the management of municipal affairs, this information of a public nature remains inaccessible to citizens because of:
- The multitude of information producer services.
- The diverse typology of information.
- Non-production of summary documents intended for citizens.

Status quo

Even though the financial management documents, the monograph, and the communal action plan (PAC) are published online, the municipality continues to receive requests concerning the PAC, the monograph, and the accounting statements, which indicates a lack of proactive publication forms and tools used so far.

Action

As part of the implementation of the provisions of Law 31-13 related to the right of access to information and in particular Article 10 related to proactive publication, the commune is undertaking an overhaul of its web portal to reorganize a page devoted to the proactive publication of management documents and administrative procedures.

Also, this electronic platform will be supported by a physical structure for access to information: the "citizen's office".

How will the commitment contribute to solving the public problem described above?

The commitment will contribute to better access to information by means of: better readability of the municipality's web portal by ensuring an intuitive presentation of information and for the sections of the population suffering from the technological barrier, a physical structure "the citizen's office" will be set up to provide the required information on request or remotely.

What long-term goal as identified in your Open Government Strategy does this commitment relate to?

This commitment relates to the transparency of municipal management, which is an important factor in increasing the confidence of citizens and their ownership of municipal projects and actions.
