Commitment: Your Idea to the Zugdidi Mayor
Commitment Description: The introduction of novel mechanisms for citizen involvement in the decision-making process at the local level and providing new opportunities for advancement of this process are important components of local self-government reform in Georgia.
Within the framework of the OGP Georgia National Action Plan for 2018-2019, Zugdidi Municipality set a goal of launching an electronic platform Your Idea to the Zugdidi Mayor. Outcome: The portal is established; For the purposes of its introduction, the meetings have been held with citizens; Ten proposals have been submitted through the portal
Timeline: Start date - June 2018, End date - December 2019
OGP Thematic Areas: Transparency, Accountability, Innovation and Technology, Engagement
Lead Agency: Zugdidi Municipality City Hall
The decision of the Ministry of Regional Development and Infrastructure of Georgia on adding 17 new modules (including Your idea to the City Mayor) to the Municipal Management System (mms.gov.ge) played a significant role in the implementation of the commitment.
It should be noted that the introduction of unified E-services in Georgian municipalities began in 2019 at the initiative of the Ministry of Regional Development and Infrastructure of Georgia and with the financial support of the Government of Georgia, the World Bank (WB) and Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC). The project will foster the elaboration of a unified standard for e-government in municipalities.
As a result, the types and quality of services available for citizens and stakeholders in the municipalities will be the same as they are in big cities. Through the single window principle, the system will also provide opportunity to receive services of one municipality in another, which significantly increases the availability of services.
The Municipal Services Development Agency (MSDA) of the Tbilisi City Hall assists the municipalities involved in the project, and based on the evaluation 17 modules will be adapted and introduced over 25 months (2019-2021).
Given that, Zugdidi Municipality City Hall decided to suspend the implementation of this commitment in order to prevent both, the development of identical services on different platforms and waste of resources (both financial and human).
According to the Secretariat's assessment, the commitment is not implemented in the framework of this Self-assessment Report. However, the goal will be achieved right after adding the new modules to the Municipal Management System (including the Your Idea to the Mayor Module).
