Networked and Connected - The CDO BOSS

Top officials of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) are expected to visit Cagayan de Oro City on Thursday, May 26, 2011, to lead the Connectivity Launching of Cagayan de Oro City’s Business One-Stop Shop (BOSS) at 1:30 p.m. in City Hall.

Gracing the event are USAID Chief of the Office of Economic Development and Governance (OEDG) Danielle Miller and Mr. Alid Camara of the USAID-funded Local Implementation of National Competitiveness for Economic Growth (LINC-EG Project) and party, according to City Treasurer Lino D. Daral.

The establishment of the one-stop business permitting center is part of the component package under the LINC-EG Project, in partnership with Promote CdeO Foundation and the Department of Trade and Industry-Misamis Oriental (DTI).

LINC-EG is geared towards streamlining the local government unit’s business permitting and licensing operations through connectivity of computer networks among key offices at City Hall.

With this new computer networking technology, the main processing center at City Hall can now access or verify applicant’s compliance of the prerequisite licensing requirements on zoning, fire, health and building safety from offices outside City Hall such as City Health Office, City Building Office and City Fire Department.

Daral said the updated business permit computerization program is expected to enhance the city government’s efficiency on local revenue generation as the computer connectivity in business permit application would ensure fast and hassle-free issuance of permits and licenses.

A run-thru of the new application and a press conference will wrap-up the launching and close out ceremony.
