FiscalizaBR: Um Aplicativo Móvel para Acesso a Dados Abertos de Convênios e Contratos

The government's incentive to transparency of public data became increasingly evident after the introduction of the Access to Information Law. Due to this law, new tools for searching, accessing and visualizing open data have been developed for the purpose of improving the social control of government actions. However, these tools, sometimes, are not able to make the access to this information simple to any citizen. This work presents the mobile app FiscalizaBR, whose purpose is to facilitate the access to data on contracts and covenats made by the Brazilian government. By means of an experimental study conducted in this work, it was noticed that the proposed app presented higher effectiveness and efficiency, when compared to another too with the same purpose.
