LOCAL  ADMINISTRATIONS  TECHNOLOGY  RESEARCH  AND  DEVELOPMENT  ASSOCIATION

Our association has been working for the purpose of advising and supporting related foundations and persons, especially the municipalities, on every subject which is within the field of authority and responsibility of local administrations in Turkey  

 

 

 

 Dear Mr. Ambassador,

 Local Governments Technological Research and Development Association (MITAGED) was established to provide consulting services and support for organizations and agencies concerned, especially municipalities

 

 

 

Throughout the world local administrations are important actors in capital and service market. Though MITAGED is not a direct party in purchase, the association provides a common platform for earnest buyers and suppliers to meet.

......

MITAGED organized six different meetings on Foreign Financing, Credit, Fund and Environment Management Systems in its first year. Prominent experts from the World Bank and European Union (EU), Undersecretariat of Treasury, İller Bank, Forestry and Environment Ministry, embassies, Ministry of Finance, TOKI (Mass Housing Administration), TIKA (Turkish Cooperation and Development Agency) and the Court of Accounts and experts from other significant institutions attended our meetings as speakers. During these meetings, conditions, possibilities and problems were explained to all local administrations and MITAGED undertook the task of preventing unnecessary or false expenses made to incompetent institutions or people claiming that they provide goods, service or capital. During these explanatory and cautionary meetings, MITAGED's Qualified Consultancy feature was appreciated and won high praises of every sector

 

 

  

MITAGED is only NGO attending 5th Technical Advisors Congress

 International Federation of Consulting Engineers (FIDIC) Turkey Representative TurkMMMB (Turkish Union of Consulting Engineers and Architects) organized 5th Technical Advisors congress on April 12 and 13, 2007.

 MITAGED was the only non-governmental organization invited to the congress. 

Chairman Müfit Şekerci and Second Chairman Erdal Karabaş pointed out problems of local administrations like technical and financial capacity problems. Problems led by tender system were also discussed during the meetings.

 European Federation of Engineering Consultancy Associations (EFCA) attended the congress with President Yann Leblais, General Secretary Jan Van Der Putten, and EFCA Administrative Board Member Andrzej Michalowski.

 Among the other speakers were Reinhard Honert from Brussels, Subhash Mehrotra from Consultants' Association of India, Bahaettin Kaptan from Iller Bank, Işıkhan Güler from Yüksel Project International, architect Aydın Boysan and Erdal Eren President of Turkish Constructers Association Erdal Eren.

 The meeting mostly focused on relations with municipalities and the place of technical consultancy both in the world and in Turkey.  It was underlined that lack of consultancy service in big projects and tenders lead inactive or idle facilities, projects deviating from its objectives and other problems.  

 It was also stated in the congress that in the following years approximately 3,5 billion Euro will be granted to transportation, environment, rural development and human resources projects and consultancy services are highly required in these projects. 

Most municipality officials ignore the importance of consultancy services on large-scale projects. World Bank can offer a 6 billion dollar source for substructure projects of municipalities yet; the World Bank takes certified consultancy services into consideration while providing sources.  

 Throughout the world public and private sector firms get consultancy service for large-scale projects. However, consultancy service is underestimated in Turkey since most firms seek consultancy only in technical projects. But social projects need consultancy services as well.   

 

 

MITAGED and Cuban Embassy to work hand-in-hand

 MITAGED Administrative Board paid a visit to Cuban Ambassador Ernesto Gomez Abascal on February 2, 2007. It was underlined, during the meeting with Ambassador Abascal and First Secretary Alejandro Simancas Marin that more functional activities between local administrations of two countries should be conducted and a future cooperation atmosphere should be established. In this regard, with the help of Ambassador Abascal for Turkish municipal officials a visit program to Cuba will be prepared. Within this program, if health condition of legendry Cuban leader Fidel Castro allows, a short meeting with Castro is planned. Contacts with the Municipality of Havana and other local administrations in Cuba continue.

 Following the opening speeches of the Deputy Head of the commission Igor Lonsky and MITAGED Chairman Müfit Şekerci, mayors attending the meeting gave detailed information about their municipalities and regions.
