Public policy
In this regard, the official asked ADRA to pay special attention to motorcycle taxi drivers, whose activity gains visibility and protagonism, and cannot be ignored. “Unfortunately, the activity has been marred with a frightening number of fatal accidents,” he stressed.
The deputy governor defended the promotion of actions for the participation of civil society in the follow-up and monitoring of public policies, programs and projects underway in the country.
“This exercise reinforces the Executive’s accountability mechanisms to civil society in general”, he said, encouraging civil society organizations to consolidate their participation in formal spaces of dialogue with State institutions to make it more inclusive, interactive and communicative.
The Annual Meeting of Communities (EAC) had as its fundamental objectives to define the guidelines for the 2023-2027 five-year period, as well as to identify the main development needs of the country and the communities supported by ADRA in the next five years, providing moments of debate on the prospects for the evolution of public policies to support rural development.
