The goal is to answer questions about the effectiveness of municipal action and its relevance to the needs of Auderghem residents. This council aims to provide a real, not symbolic, oversight of the municipality's management.
Each year, aldermen and municipal services will have to report to the 33 CEC members. The evaluation will be based on the 2024-2030 roadmap, activity reports, and a satisfaction survey. Evaluation criteria will include effectiveness, relevance, and coherence, adapted for non-experts by the ULB's Policy Lab.
The exercise will conclude with a public restitution in June, before an official presentation to the Communal Council. Mayor Sophie de Vos emphasizes that the CEC complements the work of the council and college, allowing direct resident involvement to ensure municipal action meets their needs.
By the end of 2029, evaluations will converge into a memorandum formulating recommendations for the following six years, which will be sent to all electoral lists before the 2030 municipal elections.
This initiative draws inspiration from the feedback of the Residents' Assembly, established in 2020-2021. Following a comprehensive diagnosis in 2024, the CEC is reinvented with clearer objectives, positioning itself as a European first for public policy evaluation.
No expertise is required to apply. Any resident of Auderghem aged 18 or over can apply online at nous.auderghem.be, on paper at the communal house, or by phone at 02/435.26.80. Applications are open from October 10 to November 15. The 33 members will be chosen by stratified random draw to ensure diverse profiles. The two-year mandate is renewable. Three half-day training sessions will precede the start of work in March 2027. Each work session will be compensated up to the legal ceiling.
