What Gemeente Oude IJsselstreek does

Gemeente Oude IJsselstreek is a Dutch municipality (gemeente) in the province of Gelderland, established in 2019 through the merger of the former municipalities of Gendringen and Silvolde. It serves the towns and villages of Gendringen, Ulft, Silvolde, Varsseveld, and Terborg, delivering statutory local-government services including civil administration, social support under the Wmo (Wet maatschappelijke ondersteuning), youth care, participation support, waste management, and local taxation. The entity is led by Mayor (Burgemeester) Laura Werger and operates a two-site footprint with a main gemeentehuis in Gendringen and a gemeentewerf in Ulft.

The core operational product is the MijnOIJ citizen portal (mijn.oude-ijsselstreek.nl), a DigiD-authenticated online service hub that supports document applications, appointment scheduling, tax payments, and access to social-support programs. It is complemented by a digital tax portal (belastingloket.oude-ijsselstreek.nl), the national WOZ Waardeloket integration, and an accessibility dashboard tracking WCAG 2.2 AA compliance. Healthcare and social-support delivery is operationalized through partner organizations: Azora and Sensire in the Samen Sterker Thuis integrated home-care initiative, Stoerversterkt.nl for debt-assistance execution, Schuldhulpmaatje as a volunteer front end, Sociaal Werk Oude IJsselstreek for general social work, and Buurtzorg Nederland for home nursing. Climate adaptation is delivered jointly with Waterschap Rijn en IJssel through the Klimaatatlas and tile-exchange programs with housing corporation Wonion.

Revenue is generated through Dutch municipal taxation instruments rather than commercial sales: OZB property tax on owners and users of real estate, afvalstoffenheffing (waste levy) with differential rates by container size, riool- en waterzorgheffing (sewage charge), toeristenbelasting (tourist tax) of €1.53 per overnight stay, and reclamebelasting (advertising tax) scaled by location. Pricing is statutory and unit-based, billed annually or per-event. The municipality also participates in the regional Sociaal Domein Achterhoek partnership covering 8 municipalities for care-fraud reporting and social-domain service coordination.

Regional players

• Gemeente Doetinchem: Largest municipality in the Achterhoek region and co-partner in Regionaal Meldpunt Zorg. Offers the same municipal service mix but at significantly larger scale, providing a useful regional reference point for service delivery and digital portal maturity.
• Gemeente Westervoort: Small Gelderland municipality of comparable size offering the standard Dutch municipal service portfolio. Useful as a non-Achterhoek benchmark for small-municipality operating cost and digital service maturity.

Direct peers

• Gemeente Bronckhorst: Adjacent Achterhoek municipality and co-partner in the Regionaal Meldpunt Zorg partnership. Comparable rural character, similar population scale, and identical statutory municipal mandate, making it a near-clone operating peer.

• Gemeente Montferland: Adjacent Gelderland municipality in the same 8-municipality social services partnership. Delivers an identical municipal service portfolio (taxation, Wmo, digital portal, permits) to a similarly sized rural population.
• Gemeente Aalten: Neighboring Dutch municipality in the Achterhoek region and co-partner in the 8-municipality Regionaal Meldpunt Zorg. Operates an almost identical service portfolio (taxation, Wmo, permits, social support) for a similarly small population, making it the most directly comparable peer.

Broad incumbents
