The Auditor General, Vlora Spanca, has stated that the process of managing the licenses of Service Providers by the Independent Media Commission (IMC) is characterized by weaknesses, influencing that the criteria for media activities are not implemented.
Whereas, for the audit of gender equality and the empowerment of women from rural areas through their inclusion in the labor market, it has been highlighted that satisfactory results have not yet been achieved for the inclusion of women from rural areas in the labor market.
At the media conference, about the management of licenses in IMC, Spanca says that the National Audit Office (NAO) has accumulated debts, as a result of which most media operate without fulfilling the financial obligations of annual fees and ‘legal measures against them are not applied by IMC ‘.
While, for the audit of gender equality and the empowerment of women from rural areas through their inclusion in the labor market, she adds that Rural Development programs and affirmative measures have not managed to ensure equal support for both genders and that there is no evaluation of the achievement of the program’s goals from a gender perspective.
Spanca also declared about the other two performance audit reports, “mechanisms for ensuring the quality of data reported for the municipal performance management system and the municipal performance grant for 2021 and the process of documentation, assessment and verification of the municipal performance management system for the year 2020.
