Economy Minister Juan Ariel Jimenez says his office is working with the InvestmentMap program of the InterAmerican Development Bank. Through the program, citizens can monitor in real-time where and how governments invest.
The Investment Map is intended to improve the transparency and efficiency of the management of public investments. Each country decides in which sector to implement this platform and the information it wants to publish, according to its needs, resources and priorities.
An IDB mission visited the DR to assist with the design of the program and worked with the coordination of Miguel Coronado Hunter, IDB representative in the Dominican Republic.
The head of the IDB mission, Juan Cruz Vieyra said that the objective of the initiative is to generate traceability from the origin and use of public investment resources in the Dominican Republic. He says geo-referencing of the data on public investment projects in the country will be used. The platform will allow citizens to verify and certify the execution of projects that will be developed in the national territory.
