Its main goal is to serve as a data source for studies and analyses that can contribute to better understand the functioning of public policies throughout the different moments of the country’s history. Designed as an interactive and iterative platform, it allows for the constant collaboration of government sectors, researchers, and other actors interested in the topic of public policies to suggest improvements to the platform.

Please note that this event is in-person only and will not be live-streamed.
