“Start Page” of PAPI Nufăru, a good practice example in administration
06.12.2011
| The „Start Page”, an instrument connecting the Prefecture and all communes in Tulcea, developed at the initiative of the PAPI Nufăru manager, has been presented as a good practice example as part of the closing conference of the project called „Modern mechanisms for effective public administration”. RECL manager Cornelius Popescu was publicly congratulated for his initiative. |
At the middle of 2009, the PAPI Nufăru manager had a greatidea. Because from the 50 communes in Tulcea only 10 had the advantages of the Knowledge-Based Economy Project, he thought of offering other communes the possibility of learning more about European funds. Since writing projects is a long-winded and difficult procedure, needing specialised consulting, Corneliu Popescu wanted to make things easier for employees of City Halls in other communes.
So, he started work. For half a year, the specialists at PAPI Nufăru, with help from a websdeisng company, created a project called „Start Page”. Basically, the webpage of Nufăru became the home page of all City Halls in Tulcea. It was also the start of an effective partnership between the Prefecture and local mayors in Tulcea County, and those in communities included in the Delta Danube’s Razim Lagune Development Association.
The start page helps local communities learn useful information about the schools and libraries in the commune.
All from their own resources
Nufăru was the fifth community, nation-wide, which managed to implement a modern mechanism for efficient communication between local administrations. At the closing conference of the project „Modern mechanisms for effective public administration”, recently organised in Bucharest by the Central unit for the Reform of Public Administration, part of the Ministry of Administration and Interior, PAPI Nufăru was highlighted for the special merit of having created the portal from its own funds. The conference was attended by specialists from Romanian local and central administration.
„The project started in 2009. We were designated a good practice model because we managed to do it on our own. We are talking about a communications network between the prefecture and all local City Hall.s We were appreciated because we did what others could not have done even with European funds”, RECL manager Cornelius Popescu says.
Its effectiveness has already been recognised
The Start Page portal was listed in the database of good practice models of the Central unit for the Reform of Public Administration, and its effectiveness has also been recognised by the Tulcea prefecture. „This software helps us successfully communicate, send and receive data and reports at a county level. Project initiators were publicly congratulated for their efforts in making communications with the citizen more effective”, says Veronica Ivanon, counsellor of the Tulcea Prefecture.
