Background<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Municipalities have the obligation to provide certain services to the vulnerable groups, with the aim of realizing their rights. Services provided to vulnerable groups from local government are in the form of economic assistance, residential and community social care services.<\/p>\n

In this regard, Ombudsman has a key and important monitoring role on the protection of the rights and the provision of services to vulnerable groups by local government bodies. During the consultative meetings held at the local level, the distribution of economic aid and services provided for the PWDs were identified as social services that are considered problematic and priority to be monitored by the Ombudsman. In the framework of the project, was drafted the Methodology for Monitoring and Evaluation of the Ombudsman for Social Services Provided by Local Government Units, which will serve to the LGUs but also to the Regional Offices for their monitoring work. To ensure better implementation of the Methodology was held training for representatives from municipalities and Ombudsman.<\/p>\n

At the same time with the monitoring of the social services by Ombudsman will be extended the awareness campaign, which will include the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as part of the 2030 Agenda. Ombudsman has a key and important role as an essential element for good governance, the protection of individuals against administrative abuses, and the strengthening of public trust in the services provided by the local and regional government.<\/p>\n

The Ombudsman has a legal provision to protect and promote human rights. SDGs are directly related to human rights, especially with the rights of vulnerable groups. In order to achieve these standards, it is important the LGUs to be aware of SDGs, their content, and their role in their achievement.<\/p>\n
