My Municipal Budget
My Municipal Budget is an online tool created by civil society organizations and agencies of the international community. The objective of this platform is to enable citizens to monitor the management of the resources of their respective municipalities, as well as to promote informed participatory initiatives and to strengthen the transparency of local governments. The portal makes available the budget of 153 municipalities of the country, in addition to their income, expenses and investments. The design of this democratic innovation allows the information to be compared between different years or municipalities.
