Lack of database integration challenges enforcement
The lack of integration between government databases and statistics and the absence of general coordination of Brazilian territory maps have weakened the creation and monitoring of public policies in the most varied sectors and made crimes easier.
The conflicting information leads authorities of the highest echelon of the Republic to disagree with the official bodies themselves and aggravates the international war of narratives about deforestation and fires in the Amazon. With no ability to prove that most farmers act according to the law or to punish "bad apples", Brazil is still targeted by harsh criticism both domestically and abroad.
Former president of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) and professor at the Brazilian Institute of Economics at Fundação Getúlio Vargas (Ibre/FGV), Roberto Olinto defends the creation of a national authority to integrate all the information produced individually and put into practice the National System of Official Information (SNIO), which IBGE is in charge of but with limited autonomy to produce and disseminate content.
Mr. Olinto said a recent seminar, for example, that electronic invoices are a "revolution for the production of statistics", but there is still no access model due to the secrecy and privacy of certain data. Also, states and municipalities are not under obligation to provide information to the national spatial data infrastructures (NSDI) and the National Open Data Infrastructure (NODI).
The incompatibility between the data generated by different entities and the privacy of some information are challenges that prevent advances in proposals already implemented in agreements made by the Federal Prosecution Service, such as the integration of the Rural Environmental Registry (CAR) and Animal Transit Licenses (GTA), mandatory document issued for the transport of animals from one farm to another, identifying quantity, origin and destination of the cattle.
In addition to the need for a complex crossing, the model exposes personal data and commercial information from ranchers, protected by law. The complete traceability of GTAs is part of the initiatives launched by meatpackers to identify indirect suppliers and ensure, for example, that the sale of calves and light store cattle to the final breeder who fatten and pass on to the slaughterhouses is also free of irregularities.
Yet the crossing of various databases is an old but still crippled intention of the government...
