Commerce Chambers: Cosenza, accessible, transparent bodies
Video message from Cantone (Anac). Algieri: always open
17 October, 18:55Omnia Energia Spa, based in Cosenza, came second. A video message sent by Raffaele Cantone, president of the National Anti-Corruption Authority (Anac) was shown to the participants.
''#OpenCameraCosenza - said Cantone - is a project based on digitisation of administrative activities but also on transparency. A programme that has put in place a new idea of management, by means of which the Cosenza Chamber of Commerce has also opened up to outside users, providing its know-how to other entities. A winning and innovative logic. A logic of transparency that is not an end to itself. Digitisation and transparency are two sides of the same coin. ANAC has always felt that transparency is a necessity for countering corruption.
Because transparency makes citezens aware of the activities of administrations, stimulating social control against corruption.
Transparency is not a burden, it is not yet a new bureaucratic load. Transparency is an opportunity to talk to users''.
''Transparency is in the Cosenza Chamber's DNA'', said President Algieri, ''and fills us with pride and responsibility, citing President of the ANAC, Raffaele Cantone, for the cultural revolution triggered by #OpenCameraCosenza. Our administrative bodies are open. For some time we have opted for a social budget. We handle public resources. We have a duty to be transparent. Whoever rules a public body - Algieri said - must have the courage to change the status quo. The starting point was setting the new organizational chart, and simplyfing the administrative action. All this was done in addition to new organization and communication, new media, social networks, digital platforms, Qrcode and augmented reality. Other aspects of #OpenCameraCosence are the recovery of cultural heritage (digital library) and the work experience programme''. (ANSA).
