Alcaldía de Marmato

What Alcaldía de Marmato does

Alcaldía de Marmato is the constitutionally constituted municipal government of the municipality of Marmato in the department of Caldas, Colombia, operating under Mayor Carlos Alberto Cortés Chavarriaga and the 2024-2027 development plan "Marmato, Un Gobierno para Todos." Its functional role is to deliver public services — permits, local tax administration (predial and ICA), social assistance, infrastructure, mining and environmental oversight, health coordination with E.S.E. Hospital San Antonio, and citizen participation — to residents across the urban center and rural veredas including San Juan, El Llano, Boquerón, La Portada, and Echandía.

The entity's technology platform is built on Colombia's national Mi Colombia Digital infrastructure and comprises eight interconnected citizen-facing modules: PQRDS (requests/complaints), Trámites y Servicios (procedures catalog), Consulta Ciudadana, Planeación y Presupuesto Participativo, Rendición de Cuentas, Normatividad, Sistema de Noticias, and Retos de Participación. It integrates with national government systems including SECOP (procurement), SIA OBSERVA (fiscal control), SIGEP II (HR), and Datos Abiertos Colombia (open data), plus consumer tools like Google Forms for citizen surveys. Distribution occurs through the Casa Redonda headquarters (Tuesday-Saturday service hours), four satellite offices, the Electronic Single Window, and digital channels; service delivery is predominantly free or low-cost per Colombian public-sector norms.

Commercially, there is no traditional revenue model — the entity is funded through three streams: national government transfers (Sistema General de Participaciones for education, health, water, and functioning; Sistema General de Regalías), local tax collection (predial, ICA, mining certificates), and annual budget appropriations approved by the municipal council via acuerdos (e.g., Acuerdo 018 de 2024 for fiscal year 2025). The customer base is structurally limited to Marmato residents, with differentiated service lines for general citizens, vulnerable populations (migrants, conflict victims, NARP communities), the artisanal mining community (associations ASOJOMAR, ASOMILLAR, ASOMITRAMA), and construction/development applicants. Partnerships with Federación Nacional de Cafeteros, Collective Mining Colombia, SENA, Ministerio de Minas y Energía, and Universidad Nacional support infrastructure, vocational training, and environmental compliance programs.
