Mariupol is not only a Hero city, but also the “most transparent” city of Ukraine according to the results of an independent assessment by Transparency International. This annual assessment includes 90 indicators, in particular the work of local authorities, social services, education, housing, receiving grants, etc. In 2020 and 2021, Mariupol topped Transparency International’s transparency and Transparency International’s transparency and accountability rankings.
Before the start of the full-scale invasion, a geo-information system was established in the city. The introduction and functioning of the system was regulated by local legal acts. In addition, technical tasks for the development of new modules were developed and approved for the Geoportal, which will allow citizens to have information about:
- architectural and cultural heritage of the city;
- tourist map of the city;
- accounting for communal property lease;
- small architectural forms.
As part of the work on the e-reception, the improvement of several existing IT tools, such as the Medical Platform and the Electronic Residentʼs Office was planned. Concepts and technical tasks for the project’s implementation were developed and approved.
External assessment of the communal commercial enterprise Mariupolteplomerezha’s integrity was an important component of the plan. Interviews with employees were conducted, the concept and the methodology of the assessment were approved.
In order to improve the business climate in the city through the introduction of regulatory and anti-corruption expertise of local legal acts, a Memorandum of Cooperation was signed with the Lviv Regulatory Hub (since 2024 – LRHub Centre for Economic Development).
The temporary occupation of Mariupol in February 2024 suspended our cooperation. However, we are waiting for the city to return to the blue and yellow flag and promise to join in its reconstruction after our victory. All this to make Mariupol even more modern, more comfortable and more transparent. The one that we will be proud of even more than before.
