The Ombudsman policy in the State of Ceará aims to foster the involvement of the society and the execution of social control, ensuring the right to citizenship and transparency of the services carried out by the State Executive Power, with ethical, impartial and free acting, through impartial hearing of parts involved and also preserving the right to freedom of speech and judgement by the citizen.
In that sense, the Ombudsman acts as an intermediary channel in the process of popular engagement, allowing the citizen to contribute with the implementation of public policies and assessment of services provided.
