The Puerto Rico Private Sector Coalition stepped up in defense of the Puerto Rico Institute of Statistics over the weekend, claiming that it is “critical to have a body that ensures the independence and transparency of metrics and government statistics to provide complete, reliable, fast and universal data.”
The Puerto Rico Institute of Statistics has begun taking over the job of maintaining and developing the government’s technology initiative to open and disclose its data known as Data.PR.gov.
As part of their efforts to promote and facilitate improved governance through greater transparency and civic participation, OPEN Puerto Rico and the Commonwealth’s Office of the Electoral Comptroller (OEC) announced Thursday the availability of a new tool to interact with the information available on political campaign contributions.
