Commitment Title
Develop and implement the Contagem Integrity Plan - PIC
Problem
Lack of actions aimed at open government, absence of policies that seek transparency, popular participation, as well as the lack of programs aimed at providing guidance on topics such as ethics, morality, integrity, and anti corruption practices.
Status quo
Low involvement and engagement of the secretariats with ethics, transparency, integrity and compliance practices. Need for organization and systematization of isolated compliance actions to create an institutional culture with greater credibility and efficiency in the execution of the activities of the municipal administration. Currently, the code of ethics is little disseminated among public servants, few actions and campaigns are developed to promote the prevention, detection, and correction of non-conformities. We have also identified the need to improve the monitoring mechanisms and to improve the activities aimed at the timely detection of risks and mitigation measures, as well as to increase transparency.
Action
The commitment is to develop and standardize the Contagem IntegrityPlan - PIC. As expected results, we intend to foster a cultural change of transparency and integrity with all departments, employees, and other stakeholders, through an integrity plan formulated according to the reality of Contagem, with actions aimed at improving the delivery of services to citizens, disseminating the culture of integrity in the agencies and entities of the Public Administration of the Municipal Executive Branch, in order to expand the sense of ethics, accountability, and integrity, in addition to developing mechanisms for monitoring and improving the execution of activities, in alignment with best international practices, which enables external investments and more development for the city.
How will the commitment contribute to solving the public problem described above?
With the implementation of the PIC, we expect to act more assertively in the detection and prevention of acts of corruption, irregularities, and deviations of conduct, as well as to develop actions to improve the management of resources, ensuring more transparency and efficiency through the identification of risks, anticipation of problems, and to promote ethical conduct among employees, agents, and third parties, aiming to improve the institution's image, the effective correction of non-conformities, and the construction of a more honest environment.
What long-term goal as identified in your Open Government Strategy does this commitment relate to?
To reestablish the population's trust and participation in public actions; greater effectiveness in the destination of public money; greater engagement of the executive secretariats regarding the resolution of problems, especially those that present the greatest dissatisfaction of the population; restoration of public integrity.
