September 01, 2018 – August 31, 2020
Institution responsible for the implementation: State Secretariat in the Office of Education
What is the problem that the commitment addresses?
The problem of corruption is not just a problem in the public sector. Conversely, It is first and foremost a social phenomenon. It is in society and its behaviors, values and patterns of behavior, where the germ of corruption lies. For that reason, Honduras will have to make real efforts to promote a greater culture of integrity in citizenship and civil society. This implies involving the entire education apparatus of the State in the formation of better citizens, attached to values of
integrity, honesty and care of the public. This strategy requires efforts on the schools in the primary, secondary and preparatory level, as well as on higher education centers, with the support of the Ministry of Education, SCGG through the DPTRME, the TSC, the IAIP and public and private academy. It also demands efforts in terms of co-responsibility of the media, which are indispensable for reaching the bulk of the population.
On the other hand, citizenship, especially the parents, requires that the process of registration and request for documents to be the less complex as possible and for this process to be expedited, reducing acts of corruption with the payment of processors to obtain birth certificates
Which is the commitment? Comprehensive training of children and young people as school controllers, in the Law of Transparency and Access to Public Information and the principles and scope of an open state, empowering them as ambassadors for transparency in the Public Management. In addition to this effort to empower citizens, the design and implementation of the Work Plan for the Culture of Integrity in the Media. Finally to improve the public service of school enrollment processing, eliminating the requirement of birth certificate presentation, simplifying it through a strategic alliance between the RNP- SEDUC and the District Education Offices.
How will it contribute to solve the problem? Honduras achieves a great cultural transformation that consolidates ethics and integrity as main social values. In particular, that transformation should materialize in the behavior of public servants, the private sector, children and young people, who must also have a high level of respect for the rule of law. In this process of change, the academy, the news media, and all public and civil society institutions are called to fulfill a leadership role. Honduras must contain and reverse the proliferation ot the excess of procedures. It must do so in the hands of the citizens, who must help identify the procedures that generate more problems and that could be eliminated or simplified, either through legal, procedural or with technological innovations, which is addressed in this commitment, in relation to a specific procedure for the registration process.
Why is it relevant to the values of the OGP? Transparency; awareness is raise in the citizens to guarantee the due compliance with the law on transparency and access to public information. Likewise it impacts in achieving greater citizen participation; involvement of children and young people in the process of promoting and complying with transparency regulations and right of access to information in the country and with the principles of an open state. Accountability; the institutions will be accountable to the ambassadors for transparency as a mandatory part of the process of empowering these important actors.
Technological innovation is achieved; making use of the news media and innovating in the process of sensitization of citizens in relation to the promotion of transparency.
Additional Information: There is a link with the Sustainable Development Goal number 16 whose goals are focused on the promotion of peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, access to justice for all and building institutions effective and transparent.
