The Anti-Red Tape Authority (ARTA) is set to launch the new Go.SmARTApp on April 22, a program that aims to speed up transactions and cut red tape in government.
The ARTA made the announcement following the signing of a memorandum of agreement (MOA) between the agency and Filipino software engineering firm Multisys Technologies Corp. on March 31.
In a statement, ARTA Director-General Jeremiah Belgica underscored the benefit of having a strong public-private partnership to deliver better services to the people, noting that the app is a donation by Multisys to ARTA.
“A private-public partnership is not just desirable but necessary for us to achieve all the dreams and aspirations we have as a country. Hindi po kaya ng gobyernong mabuhay kung wala ang suporta ng taong bayan (The government will not survive without the support of the people),” he said.
