Hackathon "Participation in Combating Corruption"

?Hackathon Participação no Combate à Corrupção? (Lit. Hackathon Involvement in Combating Corruption) was a hackathon-style competition, which used the open data of the System of Conventions promoted by the Ministry of Justice (MJ) and institutional partners belonging to the National Strategy for Combating Corruption and Money Laundering (ENCCLA) in 2016. Based on Action 2/2016 of the ENCCLA, whose objective is to promote social participation through active transparency for the monitoring of forms of transfer of federal resources, the hackathon sought to reward the most innovative ideas to involve citizens in the monitoring and execution of public policies for transferring federal resources and in confronting corruption. The contest was addressed to representatives of civil society and consisted of two phases. The first phase, which was eliminatory, received 54 proposals and the three finalists received a prize with the value of 10 000 Reales. In the qualifying phase, the winning proposal was chosen for implementation in 40 days with a prize of 30 000 Reales. The winning project was named the "Las Diferentonas" mobile app.
