Five initiatives from the municipal governments of Brazil, Ecuador, Guatemala and Venezuela were selected as the winners of the Inter-American Development Bank’s contest, Gobernarte 2015: Eduardo Campos Award.
The third iteration of the contest, that acknowledges the best and most innovative practices in public administration at the subnational level, had two categories this year: “Cities and big data” and “Cities and registry of persons”.
