“…Three months after the release of InvestmentMap, financial progress of public investment projects uploaded onto the platform increased by 18 percentage points, and physical progress increased by 8 percentage points compared to unpublished projects (Rossi, Vazquez, and Vieyra, 2020). The other study also focused on the use of InvestmentMap finds that after the release of MapaRegalías in Colombia, public investment projects financed with royalties showed an average increase in efficiency of execution of close to 8 percentage points (Lauletta et al, 2019). Both studies are important since they foreshadow the practical importance that InvestmentMap has had in Paraguay, including generating institutional knowledge for technological and information management, and the spillovers that this might have generated in adjacent institutions.…”

How can entities responsible for public procurement more reliably detect collusion and other irregular behavior? Most of the existing red flag tools are based on ex post analysis of public procurement data and are not integrated into national procurement systems. This does not allow them to identify irregularities in a timely manner, negatively affecting the efficiency and transparency of public spending. This document describes the red flags solution implemented in Paraguay, which contributes to solving these problems. It combines rule-based and machine learning algorithms to provide public officials with accurate, real-time information to reliably detect irregularities in the procurement process, without reducing efficiency.

“…For example, Lauletta et al (2019) show that implementation of the MapaRegalías platform in Colombia could increase efficiency in the execution of investment projects. 3 Along the same lines, Rossi, Vazquez, and Cruz (2020) find that the MapaInversiones platform in Costa Rica could improve the performance of investment projects.…”

This publication is one of a series of five monographs produced by the Inter-American Development Bank to take stock of the lessons learned from impact evaluations of investments supported by the IDB Group for over a decade across a wide range of economic and social development sectors. In light of increasing demand in recent years for higher-quality public services in Latin America and the Caribbean, this monograph examines programs and policies that can help governments improve how they fund and provide these services to their people. Specifically, it reviews the evidence on ways to improve government efficiency, public spending, taxation, and financial resilience. Key lessons on “what works” include using information and communication technology to improve government processes and reduce costs, increasing tax compliance through architectural or messaging “nudges,” and identifying innovative ways to encourage citizens to save.

“…Colombia, for example, developed an open data platform to track the use of mining royalties and the infrastructure projects that they finance. A recent evaluation by Lauletta et al (2019) found that the platform increased the efficiency of public investment projects and reduced monitoring costs, both for independent overseers and within the government itself.…”

Does digitalization reduce corruption? What are the integrity benefits of government digitalization? While the correlation between digitalization and corruption is well established, there is less actionable evidence on the integrity dividends of specific digitalization reforms on different types of corruption and the policy channels through which they operate. These linkages are especially relevant in high corruption risk environments. This article unbundles the integrity dividends of digital reforms undertaken by governments around the world, accelerated by the pandemic. It analyzes the rise of data-driven integrity analytics as promising tools in the anticorruption space deployed by tech-savvy integrity actors. It also assesses the broader integrity benefits of the digitalization of government services and the automation of bureaucratic processes, which contribute to reducing bribe solicitation risks by front-office bureaucrats. It analyzes in particular the impact of digitalization on social transfers. It argues that government digitalization can be an implicit yet effective anticorruption strategy, with subtler yet deeper effects, but there needs to be greater synergies between digital reforms and anticorruption strategies.
