Beneficiaries

The Court of Audit (COA) is authorized to exercise administrative and judicial control over government expenditure of public funds above a certain amount, usually $50,000.

The Civil Service Board (CSB) is responsible for compiling and maintaining personnel information for permanent and contractual workers

The Central Inspection Board (CIB) is the primary institution responsible for the disciplinary oversight of government employees

Overview

The Center has focused on the utilization of information technology to automate administrative, budgeting, and human resource tasks in designing a set of complementary activities to improve the work efficiency and output of the key oversight agencies. Previously there was a lack of standardization and automation in processes and procedures, as well as inadequate financial and personnel records. Computer equipment was provided, customized applications were developed, and a Local Area Network (LAN) was installed in each agency. In addition, agencies were provided access to the internet, email capability, and a website in order to increase efficiency and transparency. More than 100 agency staff members have been provided specialized training in the use of the customized systems developed, and technical training has been provided for in the maintenance of the equipment and the programs. Each agency now has an IT manager and at least one technical staff to maintain the systems. In addition to assistance to support the automation and standardization of administrative and financial tasks, the Center has worked closely with each agency to develop tools to enhance the oversight capacities.
