The Comptroller General of the Union (CGU) created tools for popular participation to define public policies to be implemented by the federal government, but, according to the National Secretary for Public Integrity, Izabela Moreira Corrêa, such initiatives will be in vain if society does not contribute for the formulation of proposals. By participating, this Monday (8), in the opening of the Open Government Week, Izabela reaffirmed the secretariat’s commitment to building an “interaction model” that places citizens as a priority, listening to them and acting for the ” moving towards transparency policies and towards open government policies”. According to the secretary, the idea is to “diagnose, listen and raise” available governance instruments for the promotion of open government, as well as “identify and advance” what can be improved in terms of public transparency. “We are also going to advance in open government initiatives because we believe that they result in the improvement of public policies of services provided to the population”, she added. Izabela Moreira said that she is already working to facilitate the population’s access to the Access to Information Law, which “makes clear” the federal government’s commitment to transparency and open government guidelines – a vision of public administration guided by the principles of transparency; accountability and accountability; citizen participation; in addition to the use of technology and innovation for these purposes. Participatory PPA She also highlighted the initiative to develop actions through the Participatory Pluriannual Plan, an initiative through which citizens, members of national councils and civil society entities, such as trade unions, associations and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) collaborate to prepare of the Pluriannual Plan (PPA), the federal government’s main medium-term budget planning instrument. “This constant dialogue of commitment will be present in our various channels of participation that give civil society the opportunity to engage directly in the formulation space, in social control and in the monitoring of public policies”, said the secretary, anticipating that she intends to launch “new participation mechanisms” and tools that facilitate these processes. For Izabela, this involves maintaining a series of communication channels, which includes a regulated and strong law on access to information, which ensures transparency as a rule. “Our idea is to advance in the construction of these experiences and maintain our international reference as it is and continues to be, for example, in relation to the participatory budget Civic Spaces Izabela recalled that the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) recommended that in 2022 Brazil protection of so-called civic spaces, a term that refers to the set of legal, political, institutional and practical conditions necessary for non-governmental actors to have access to information, express themselves, associate, organize and participate in public life. “In addition to building this favorable environment, it is necessary for society to actually contribute to various moments of public policy. That contributes to the formulation of inclusive public policies; and which also respects human rights; social, cultural, environmental, ethnic-racial diversities; for gender equity, among others”, added the CGU secretary.
