Public can now track flood control projects via DBM’s Project DIME
The Department of Budget and Management (DBM) launched a new website, Digital Information for Monitoring and Evaluation (DIME), enabling the public to track government-funded flood control projects.
This platform provides transparency by displaying projects funded under the General Appropriations Act, including those from the DPWH, DOTr, DepEd, MMDA, and DICT.
Citizens can now post feedback on the DIME platform using their Google or social media accounts.
The initiative was officially launched on Wednesday at the Tripa de Gallina Pumping Station in Pasay City.
Budget Secretary Amenah Pangandaman stated that President Bongbong Marcos wants funded projects to reach citizens promptly.
The rollout of the flood control component aligns with President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.'s investigation into anomalous flood control projects.
Project DIME, first introduced in 2018, was revived under Executive Order 31 signed in 2023 to institutionalize the Philippine Open Government Partnership.
