What is Project DIME?
A significant portion of our national budget is allocated each year for infrastructure projects such as roads, bridges, schools, and health facilities. Ensuring these funds are effectively used and benefit the Filipino people is essential.
To address the challenge of monitoring high-value government projects, the Department of Budget and Management, in partnership with the Department of Science and Technology, launched Project DIME (Digital Imaging for Monitoring and Evaluation) in March 2018.
The platform uses technologies such as satellites, drones, and geotagging to monitor the status of major projects. The goal is to enhance government transparency and accountability, encourage citizen participation, and ensure that the public funds are well-spent.
The Project DIME Project was terminated in December 2021 due to the expiration of the Memorandum of Agreement with the Department of Science and Technology - Advanced Science and Technology Institute (DOST-ASTI) and the change of priority plan because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
As the DBM pursues its Digital Transformation Roadmap to support the government's ongoing digital transformation to enhance bureaucratic efficiency and ensure sound fiscal management, the DBM in collaboration with the Philippine Open Government Partnership (PH-OGP) consider the relaunch of Project DIME in 2023.
