Panorama do Legislativo Municipal (Brazilian Local Legislatures Overview)

Panorama do Legislativo Municipal gathers information from the Local Legislatures across 5,568 of Brazil’s municipalities and offers tools for citizens to understand their work and compare it with the legislatures of other localities, thus exercising more effective social oversight. The platform is visually attractive and functional and presents data such as public finances and demographics in an interactive dashboard. Widely visited across the country, the platform has generated public debate on issues like the low participation of women and black population in Local Legislatures and the excessive spending of some of these bodies.
