Inter Municipal Cooperation in the area of inspections oversight

UNDP as an active factor in the Inter municipal Cooperation (IMC) carried out more than a few projects in 36 municipalities throughout the country in the areas of: urbanism, local taxes and fees, inspections and local development. In partnership with the Ministry for Local Self-Government UNDP carries out the national Programme for “Inter Municipal Cooperation for better service provision and EU accession” which works on creating conditions for wider application of the IMC as an instrument for improved quality delivery of the public services at local level.

In the course of widening the inter municipal cooperation in the area of inspections oversight on the basis of current conditions and the needs of the local self-government units, the UNDP IMC Programme team organized a thematic workshop for IMC in the area of inspections oversight which took place on July 6, 2010 in Hotel Romantique in Veles.

The aim of the workshop was together through discussions to identify the priority needs in the inspections oversight, as well as to reach the possible solutions to satisfy those needs through inter municipal cooperation. Mayors and civil servants from the municipalities from the Vardar Planning Region were invited on the workshop together with the representatives from the State Administrative inspectorate and the Ministry of Local Self-Government.
