Fewer rules, better results

On September 2 nd, 2009, President Felipe Calderon committed to undertake a wide-ranging regulatory reform in order to:  Make citizens´ life easier.  Increase competitiveness.  Facilitate the economic and social development of the country.

 Regulatory reform is a decade long effort that started with the creation of regulatory inventories.  Following the Presidents’ executive order, every federal agency identified duplicated norms, processes and inefficient activities, that generated unnecessary costs to the citizen.  Using this information as a basis, the Public Administration Ministry identified two major tasks to achieve the objectives set by the President: 1.Standardize administrative processes and eliminate all unnecessary rules (Guillotine of Administrative Regulations). 2.Facilitate citizens’ interaction with government by repealing unjustified procedures and requirements (Guillotine of Substantive Regulations). Fewer rules, better results

The Guillotine of Administrative Regulations consisted on the elaboration and publication of nine general application handbooks: Fewer rules, better results 1.Procurement 2.Auditing 3.Internal Control 4.Infrastructure 5.Financial Resources 6.Human Resources 7.Material Resources 8.ICT 9.Transparency

On August 10 th, 2010, President Felipe Calderón issued an Executive Order which prohibits to all federal agencies the emission of new regulation within the subjects of the nine Handbooks of General Application. The Agreement consists on: 1.Eliminating unnecessary rules. 2.Restricting the emission of new rules. 3.Giving certainty about the regulation in force in the Federal Government. 4.Giving certainty on the exception cases. Fewer rules, better results

Administrative and Substantive Regulation Guillotine Results

The OECD through the Public Management Review of Mexico will:  Evaluate the methodology and implementation of the nine Handbooks in the light of international best practice.  Measure the impact of this reform.  Identify and assess risks and ways to reduce them.  Recommend ways to strengthen the links to E-Government, and to performance evaluation. The review will be published on mid Checks and Balances

E-government projects

On a public policy perspective E-Government is the use of ICT to enhance public institutions capacity in the construction, protection and access to public and common goods by: 1.Improving public institutions operational efficiency. 2.Reducing transaction costs between citizens and government. 3.Creating and integrating information public goods or “Infostrucutre”, such as: i.Identity registries (social rights). ii.Property registries (economic rights). iii.Educational registries (capacity building). iv.Criminal and justice records (justice). New E-Government Strategy

Compranet 5.0 Compranet 5.0 is the fifth version of a web based procurement tool which was released on August  The goals to be achieved are: o Efficient and transparent use of Federal Public resources. o Modernize the procurement process with a beginning to end transactional tool. o Country wide standardization on federal, state and county level. o 10% savings of total government purchases. After Handbook implementation we will build new systems according to the new standardized processes. An example of these tools is Compranet 5.0.

On 2011 a National Interoperability Framework will be released.  Expected benefits: o Boost the integration of transactional services among public institutions. o Allow efficient interaction of government systems. o Ease the development of one-stop-shops for convergent services.  Design directives: o Change from “need to collaborate” to “duty to collaborate”. o Put the burden of information exchange on the government not the citizen. o Establish the “interoperability standard” as the building block of operations integration.
