“…This comprehensiveness of information fits in the goal of social observatories to collect, record, track and interpret data, as previously discussed (Albornoz & Herschmann, 2006;Goulart et al, 2020). Simplicity was sought by presenting information through simple graphics and short texts, in line with the understanding that social observatories have the task of communicating complex information to an audience with distinct comprehension capabilities.…”

“…Observatories have the commonality of monitoring the functioning or performance of a specific sector or issue, and they usually collect, record, track and interpret data, produce statistical indicators, create methodologies to code, classify and categorize information, establish connections between people working in similar areas, and monitor and analyze trends (Albornoz & Herschmann, 2006;Goulart et al, 2020). By systematically monitoring an issue of collective interest, an observatory exercises social control and, although it does not have the power to exercise direct sanction on rulers, the action of observatories can mobilize and influence other accountability mechanisms (Schommer & Moraes, 2011).…”

“…For Albornoz and Herschmann (2006), the fancy name "Observatory" is usually preceded by a word that indicates its field of action, such as in Press Observatory, Violence Observatory, Citizen's Observatory or Social Observatory of Maringa. According to researchers, although their thematic focus and methodologies are diverse, observatories have in common the idea of observing activities, monitoring and analyzing indicators, and disseminating information.…”

“…According to the researchers, the social media, specifically, has been widely used to reach a wider portion of the population. Social observatories can be used in this environment as mechanisms to improve public transparency and decrease information asymmetry, contributing to produce knowledge about different groups and sectors of society with the purpose of intervening in the generation of public policies, consolidating citizen participation mechanisms and for the democratization of information (Albornoz & Herschmann, 2006;Baldissera et al, 2019;Pérez & Nassif, 2020).…”

The Covid-19 pandemic and its countermeasures have brought pressures on social and welfare assistance. Along with this, come the challenges of information being dispersed and complex, susceptible to distortions, and a society with distinct capacities for assimilation and analysis. This paper aims to present the experience of the Covid-Prev Observatory as a tool for transparency and accountability in the public management of social security in times of pandemic. This experience with the social observatory has encompassed the choice of themes and variables to be disseminated and analyzed, the visual planning and dissemination strategy, and the discussion of the observatory's role and potential. Thus, a multidisciplinary team has developed a project aiming to analyze the impact of Covid-19 on the Brazilian Social Security System, from different perspectives, both with the reproduction of data and information, and for the elaboration of analyses: impacts of the pandemic on the labor market and its effects on the evolution of social security revenues and expenses, effects of the pandemic on vulnerable groups, sustainability of pension funds, impacts on the financial market, among others. This information was first disclosed on the Blogger platform, and then on an electronic website whose disclosure was made both on the social networks of the research participants themselves and on the social networks of entities interested in the topic, such as the Brazilian Association of State and Municipal Pension Institutions (ABIPEM). In its short period of existence, the observatory has obtained more than 10 thousand accesses, either from Brazil and other countries. The observatory has presented data and analyses in a simple way, based on scattered information with different levels of complexity. In these analyses, the aim has been to establish relationships between facts correlated to social security and welfare. Thus, it is understood that the observatory has collaborated as a transparency and accountability tool with respect to the theme of social security in Brazil, serving as a discussion of the challenges and potentialities of social observatories.

“…Segundo os pesquisadores, as mídias sociais, especificamente, têm sido amplamente utilizadas para atingir uma parcela mais ampla da população. É nesse ambiente que os observatórios sociais podem ser usados como mecanismos de melhoria da transparência pública e de diminuição da assimetria de informação, contribuindo para produzir conhecimento sobre diferentes grupos e setores da sociedade com o propósito de intervir na geração de políticas públicas, consolidar mecanismos de participação cidadã e para a democratização da informação (Albornoz & Herschmann, 2006;Baldissera et al, 2019;Pérez & Nassif, 2020).…”

A pandemia da Covid-19 e suas medidas de enfrentamento trouxeram pressões sobre a assistência social e previdenciária. Junto a isso estão os desafios de a informação estar dispersa, ser complexa, suscetível às distorções e uma sociedade com capacidades distintas de assimilação e análise. Este artigo tem o objetivo de apresentar a experiência do Observatório Covid-Prev como instrumento para a transparência e accountability na gestão pública da seguridade social e previdenciária em tempos de pandemia. Essa experiência com o observatório social abrangeu a escolha de temas e variáveis a serem divulgados e analisados, a estratégia de planejamento visual e de divulgação, bem como a discussão do papel e potencial do observatório. Assim, uma equipe multidisciplinar desenvolveu projeto visando analisar o impacto da Covid-19 no Sistema de Previdência Brasileiro, sob diferentes perspectivas, tanto com a reprodução de dados e informações como para elaboração de análises: impactos da pandemia no mercado de trabalho e seus efeitos sobre a evolução das receitas e despesas previdenciárias, efeitos da pandemia nos grupos vulneráveis, sustentabilidade dos fundos de pensão, impactos no mercado financeiro, entre outras. Essas informações foram divulgadas primeiramente na plataforma Blogger e depois em sítio eletrônico cuja divulgação foi feita tanto nas redes sociais dos próprios participantes da pesquisa como nas redes sociais de entidades interessadas no tema, como a Associação Brasileira de Instituições de Previdência Estaduais e Municipais (ABIPEM). Em seu curto período de existência o observatório ultrapassou 10 mil acessos, oriundos tanto do Brasil como de outros países. O observatório apresentou dados e análises de forma simples, com base em informações que se encontram dispersas e com níveis diferentes de complexidade. Nestas análises buscou-se estabelecer as relações entre fatos correlacionados à seguridade social e previdenciária. Desse modo, entende-se que o observatório colaborou como instrumento de transparência e accountability com relação ao tema da previdência no Brasil e serve como discussão dos desafios e potencialidades dos observatórios sociais.
