In 2015 UDITE association started to work with the programme of the CoE on 12 Principles of Good Governance, in order to encourage Local Chief Executives in achieving the European label of Governance’ Excellence, established by the CoE.
At the end of 2016 decision was made to organise a call for municipalities of the member national associations to participate in the first pilot project. This call was organised, and candidates had to show interest before May 2017. Several towns and cities of six different countries responded in a positive way as:
• Cork and Limerick (Ireland);
• Naxxar and Quormi (Malta);
• Aguada and Valongo (Portugal).The self-assessment consists of three important parts:
• The self-assessment done by the municipality;
• A survey amongst the councillors of the municipality;
• A survey amongst a sample of the population of the municipality.The evaluation of the submitted applications will observe two important elements:
• Are the scores supported by the evidences, given by the municipalities?
• Are the scores given by the councillors and by the citizens in line with the outcome of the self-assessment or are there important differences?The scores were evaluated as detailed as possible, by using a pounded system. In that way it is possible to get more differentiations and detect the stronger ad weaker elements.
