The Public Administration and Civil Service Bureau (SAFP) has launched a dedicated page on its website where members of the public can check updated information on the government’s latest measures and achievements in its public administrative reform campaign.
On the bureau’s website (https://www.safp.gov.mo), the new dedicated webpage is available in Chinese and Portuguese, Macau’s two official languages.
The new webpage (https://www.safp.gov.mo/zh-hant/adminReformNews) is officially known as “Together in Reform”.
The bureau is tasked with carrying out duties such as managing the employment of public servants and advancing the government’s public administrative reform.
A SAFP statement on Monday said that with the objective of further enhancing the transparency of the government’s ongoing public administrative reform and civil society’s participation in the matter, the bureau has launched a new page known as “Together in Reform” on its website so as to promptly provide members of the public and public servants with the latest information on the government’s public administrative reform, with the aim of working together with civil society to advance the modernisation of Macau’s governance system and capability.
The current-term Macau Special Administrative Region (MSAR) government headed by Chief Executive Sam Hou Fai took office on December 20, 2024.
The statement also said that deepening public administrative reform is a core mission of the current MSAR government in implementing the governance philosophy of “upholding fundamental principles while breaking new ground”. Supported by its current leadership and coordination mechanisms for public administrative reform, the statement said, the local government will “systematically and comprehensively” advance its various reform measures in three key areas, namely streamlining government structure, enhancing public servants’ governance capabilities, and deepening innovation in public administration services provided to the public.
Through persistent efforts, the statement underlined, the government will constantly enhance governance efficiency and the quality of its services provided to the public.
The statement underlined that the bureau will regularly release information on the latest progress and policy information of the government’s ongoing public administrative reform campaign onto the new “Together in Reform” webpage, with the aim of foster understanding, support, and participation in the public administrative reform across all sectors of civil society, and establishing a modernised public administration system characterised by efficiency, transparency, and the provision of people-orientated services.
