An Eye on the Goals
De Olho nas Metas (lit. An Eye on the Goals) is a web based platform created with the goal to facilitate the access to the policy plans established by the Mayor of Sao Paulo. Each term, the local government publishes its goals for the following years; the platform, therefore, maps the level of implementation with a progress bar and a list of the stages, so far, accomplished. The website uses the information published by the official website of Sao Paulo's government created to monitor the policy plan for the term of 2013-2016 - Planeja Sampa - and information from the Sao Paulo's Court of Auditors related to the execution of goals by private sector stakeholders. The goal of De Olho nas Metas was, also, to aid the work of the more than the 30 Participatory Councils of the City of Sao Paulo. Citizens could also monitor the implementation of the plans through a map of the city. Besides monitoring, citizens could post comments and upload pictures related to the policy plan. There is also an exclusive feature for members of the Participatory Councils, where they follow specific projects and areas of interest. The term of 2013-2016 had 123 policy plans. De Olho nas Metas is a project by the NGO Rede Nossa Sao Paulo in partnership with Eokoe and the MIT Center for Civic Media with support from Fundación Avina and technical cooperation with the Court of Auditors from the City of Sao Paulo.
