DBM launches DIME tracker for flood control projects

The Department of Budget and Management (DBM), alongside other government agencies, launched an online tracker called Digital Information for Monitoring and Evaluation (DIME) to monitor flood control projects.

During a signing ceremony on Wednesday, August 27, in Pasay City, DBM Secretary Amenah Pangandaman emphasized that DIME uses satellites, drones, and geotagging to track infrastructure progress.

The public can use dime.gov.ph to monitor project updates and provide feedback through Google or social media accounts without needing to visit physical locations.

Pangandaman highlighted the importance of ensuring projects reach citizens efficiently as part of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.'s investigation into anomalous flood control contracts.

DBM is working in partnership with Prof. Mahar Lagmay of UP Nationwide Operational Assessment of Hazards (UP NOAH) to enhance project monitoring efforts and promote transparency.
