Alcaldía de Aguachica

What Alcaldía de Aguachica does

Alcaldía de Aguachica Cesar is the municipal government of Aguachica, a municipality in the department of Cesar, Colombia, founded in 1748. It operates as a decentralized entity under the Colombian national government's territorial framework, holding exclusive statutory authority to administer local public services, levy taxes, and execute public works within its jurisdiction. The current administration, led by Mayor Greisy Roqueme (2024-2028), is executing the 'Aguachica, Entorno de Paz, Progreso y Sostenibilidad' municipal development plan and has emphasized transparency, infrastructure, education, and international cooperation.

The entity delivers its services through a unified digital portal built on the Mi Colombia Digital platform, integrating an online tax payment system (Portal de Impuestos en Línea via Suiteneptuno for Impuesto Predial, Industria y Comercio, Reteica, Exógena), a PQRDS citizen request module, a Trámites y Servicios catalog, residency certificate workflows via Google Forms, public contracting through SECOP II, and a Participa citizen participation suite that includes participatory budgeting, open innovation labs, Rendición de Cuentas (accountability reporting), and Control Ciudadano (citizen oversight). Physical service is delivered through a Ventanilla Única single-window at the municipal headquarters on Calle 4 No 10-33, Parque San Roque. Operationally, the municipality oversees wholly-owned entities including IMDREC (sports, recreation and culture), Fonvisocial (social housing), and the Fondo Rotatorio de Valorización Municipal.

The revenue model is non-commercial: inflows come from mandatory local taxes (Impuesto Predial Unificado, Impuesto de Industria y Comercio, Reteica, Exógena) governed by Acuerdo No. 018 de 2020, plus central government transfers including the Sistema General de Regalías (SGR). Distribution of public resources runs through the SECOP II procurement system (contratos.gov.co). Strategic direction is anchored on the Plan de Desarrollo 2024-2027, with active international cooperation through Cités Unies France (Poder Elegir youth program) and Asointermedias, and a recent AI-in-education seminar series launched via the Secretaría de Educación.
