Diferentonas App
The smartphone application As Diferentonas" (lit. The Different Ones) was a software developed during the first Hackathon and App Contest Against Corruption, organized in 2016 by the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Planning. This app crosses municipal and federal data banks to show the user which budget items are destined for which purposes and areas of investment in their city, that is, it seeks to make visible which investments make their city "different". The app also includes a section for citizens to follow the destination of these investments, showing information on the tenders and a map that locates the public works in process. Citizens can also make reports and complaints if they observe non-compliance in said works or tenders. The development of the app was discontinued in 2017.
