Yiwu establishes experiential supervision system

Yiwu, Zhejiang province has established a new experiential supervision system to organize people from all walks of life involved in urban construction and management to ensure its urban management is as modernized as possible.

The new system named "reform experiential officers" is established for discovering facts related to problems so that experiential supervision of government affairs and public and social services can be implemented. All the problems found by the reform experiential officers will be sorted and inputted to a unified management system, then solved by relevant departments.

"All the experiential officers must raise problems after field research," said an official of the Yiwu reform experiential officers' leading group office, who added that the management department will encourage and guide the reform experiential officers to dig into the problems to effectively promote government transformation and deepen comprehensive reform.

The reform experiential officers will be divided into many groups according to their strong suits or occupation. They can plan their own experience activities or participate in regular thematic experiences together with journalists.

According to the recruitment notice of "reform experience officers" issued by the Yiwu municipal government, applicants could be the local residents, permanent residents or foreigners in Yiwu, be at least 18 years old and familiar with Yiwu, and have sound physical and mental health.

The first batch of 104 reform experiential officers were drawn from business owners, self-employed householders, teachers, lawyers, doctors and 19 other industries, and include six foreign experience officers from Afghanistan, Jordan, Japan, Australia, Senegal and India.

Since the experiential system was established one month ago, 195 person-times of experiential supervision have been carried out with 72 problems summited to relevant departments, of which 43 have been solved.
