The OAMS strengthens accountability by:
–Centralised Recordkeeping: It provides a single digital repository where all assurances are recorded, ensuring transparency and eliminating the risk of losing track of commitments;
–Automated Notifications: The system sends timely alerts to all stakeholders to act on pending assurances, maintaining adherence to deadlines;
–Real-Time Updates: Ministries and departments can log progress updates directly into the system, ensuring accurate and up-to-date information for stakeholders;
–Integration with Standing Committee on Government Assurances: Committee on Government Assurances can monitor the progress of assurances in real-time, enabling them to hold Ministry/Departments accountable for timely implementation;
–Transparent Monitoring: By providing access to assurance data, OAMS ensures visibility for all stakeholders, including Members of Parliament, making Ministers’ commitments publicly accountable; and
–Tracking the Status of Assurances.
