What is Ombudsman?
In the context of public management, the Ombudsman is the main communication channel between citizens and the different governmental institutions. This tool enables an open dialogue with public power and social control through the submission of suggestions, praise, queries, claims and complains related to public services. After received the manifestations, it is the ombudsman’s job to analyze and forward them to the areas in charge. Furthermore, based on information brought in by citizens, the ombudsman can identify improvements and propose changes, such as pointing out irregularities in any body or entity.
The Ombudsman is also the body for participation and social control responsible for the treatment of manifestations related to policies and public services provided under any form or system, with an eye to the assessment of efficacy and the improvement of public management.
It is through the Ombudsman that any citizen can report and participate in the public administration, with the exercise of social control – by logging suggestions, praise, queries, claims and complaints aiming at the improvement of policies and public services.
