The Provincial Government of Manabí in Ecuador implemented the Local Information System (SIL) with the aim of improving public decision-making through accurate, updated, and sustainable data. The initiative addresses the lack of reliable information, low institutional coordination, and limited transparency.
The SIL is structured into four components (territorial, administrative-financial, citizen services, and institutional) and relies on the Internal Information Managers Network, which includes 130 members, as well as technological tools such as the e-GOB system.
Among its achievements are the creation of regulations and manuals, automation of data collection, technical staff training, and enhanced transparency and efficiency in public management. It also contributes to several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including institutional innovation, sustainable communities, transparency, and partnerships. It has not yet been replicated but has high potential for adaptation in other regions.
