Likewise, the general implementation average went from 70.47% to 72.06% during the last year, reflecting progress in the control and administrative management processes of the councils.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

V\u00edctor D\u2019Aza highlighted that transparency continues to be one of the main priorities of the Dominican Municipal League and assured that the institution maintains close coordination with the bodies responsible for overseeing the financial and budgetary management of local governments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than 220 transactional portals operate in local governments<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As part of the modernization efforts, the LMD also highlighted the joint work carried out with the General Directorate of Public Procurement to promote the use of digital platforms in purchasing and contracting processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, 221 local governments have transactional portals enabled, of which 128 correspond to city councils and 93 to municipal district boards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the data provided, nearly 40% of these local governments carry out procurement processes recurrently through these technological tools, strengthening transparency and accountability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Municipal civil servants trained on new procurement law<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The institutions also reported on the implementation of a national training strategy for the application of Law 47-25 on Public Procurement and its Regulation 52-26.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To date, representatives from 123 local governments, including 74 city councils and 49 municipal district boards, have participated in training sessions, with the attendance of approximately 226 public servants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The authorities indicated that these actions seek to strengthen the technical capabilities of municipal officials and ensure administrative processes based on principles of transparency, efficiency, free competition, and accountability in the management of public resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
