Citizens can view data such as budget utilization, infrastructure projects, public property usage, and progress in \u201csmart city\u201d initiatives.<\/p>\n<p>Municipalities achieving top scores across six categories \u2013including metropolitan, large, and small municipalities \u2013 will be eligible for the bonus. Assessment factors include weighted scores for efficiency for financial data (20%), for projects, civil protection, and infrastructure (20%), and 10% each for public property and human resource management.<\/p>\n<p>The initiative is expected to enhance service quality while exposing underperformers to public scrutiny.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- .entry-content --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n        var NXFBPixelFunc = function () {\n            document.removeEventListener(\"scroll\", NXFBPixelFunc);\n            setTimeout(function () {\n                !function (f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n                    if (f.fbq) return;\n                    n = f.fbq = function () {\n                        n.callMethod ?\n                            n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments)\n                    };\n                    if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n                    n.push = n;\n                    n.loaded = !0;\n                    n.version = '2.0';\n                    n.queue = [];\n                    t = b.createElement(e);\n                    t.async = !0;\n                    t.src = v;\n                    s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n                    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s)\n                }(window, document, 'script',\n                    'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n                fbq('init', '109138906120213');\n                fbq('track', 'PageView');\n            }, 0)\n        };\n        document.addEventListener(\"scroll\", NXFBPixelFunc);\n    <\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ekathimerini.com\/politics\/1259987\/funding-of-municipalities-being-linked-to-results\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The government has unveiled a new evaluation system for municipalities and regions, offering a \u20ac50 million performance-based bonus to top-performing local governments.
