For her part, Milagros Ortíz Bosch, director of DIGEIG, indicated that the government seeks to ensure quality permeates public policies, regulations, and procedures of state institutions. “Quality translates into the well-being of the people and into returning money to those who earn it fairly and equitably,” Ortíz Bosch stated. As part of the event, José Ramón Holguín Brito, Vice Minister of Government Monitoring and Coordination, presented the Presidential Cabinet and the technological, data, and information analysis transformations the government is implementing to make public policies more efficient and effective, while also reducing costs and time. “Under President Luis Abinader’s administration, we are constantly working to obtain and update daily the data that allows us to understand each Dominican and their individual circumstances, in order to guide social policies and improve people’s lives,” stated Vice Minister Holguín.

In 2021 and 2022, we improved internal and external services, budget modifications, certifications, and a risk-based culture. Now, we are committed to taking a leap toward international quality certifications such as ISO 9001:2015, Quality Management System, and ISO 37001, to prevent bribery in organizations,” Castillo noted, as part of the ongoing improvement transformations being implemented by the Budget Office.
