'Every public franc spent must have a measurable impact on the lives of citizens'
This snapshot is excerpted from a presentation by Mayor Seydina Issa Laye Samb of Yoff, Senegal, at the Open Government Partnership Summit in Vitoria Gasteiz, in the Basque Country.
“The municipality of Yoff reaffirms its commitment to transparent, participatory and accountable local governance… as a lever for citizen participation, accountability and evaluation of public policies.
Since our election, several concrete initiatives have been implemented to strengthen this dynamic. These include the organisation of public hearings in the neighbourhoods, the accountability sessions called “Face to the Yoffois”; and the regular publication of
of the Municipal Information Bulletin (BIC),
Then there’s the launch of the digital application "SunuGoxx", the first in Senegal, which allows citizens to follow the projects of the municipality, report their concerns and interact directly with their elected officials…. Every public franc spent must have a measurable impact on the lives of citizens.
