What Direccion General de Etica e Integridad Gubernamental does

The Dirección General de Ética e Integridad Gubernamental (DIGEIG) is a Dominican Republic government institution established by Decree No. 486-12 on August 31, 2012, operating under the Ministry of the Presidency with exclusive statutory authority over ethics, transparency, open government, anti-corruption, conflict of interest, and free access to public information within the national administrative government. Headquartered in Santo Domingo, DIGEIG delivers 12 distinct service modules organized into advisory, support, training, investigation, and mediation categories, serving all branches of the Dominican public administration as well as citizens and civil society. Its technology footprint centers on three operational platforms: the SAIP unified public information request system, the datos.gob.do national open data portal, and the TRANSDOC document management and transparency system developed with PNUD-SIGOB support, complemented by the Behavioral Corruption Risk Map and the National Integrity System (SNIRD).

DIGEIG is funded exclusively through Dominican Republic national budget appropriations and provides all services free of charge — there is no commercial revenue model. Distribution occurs through the official web portal, the national 311 call center, the SAIP platform, in-person service at headquarters, regional offices, and field accompaniment visits to government institutions. The agency leads the Red de Transparencia y Acceso a la Información (RTA) for 2024-2027 across 18 Iberoamerican countries, coordinates the Dominican Republic's Open Government Partnership participation, and is one of three global pilot jurisdictions for the UNODC/OECD Global Statistical Framework to Measure Corruption. Recent initiatives include TRANSDOC rollout (PNUD, October 2024), a draft whistleblower protection law with CLDP and USAID (November 2024), OECD Public Integrity Indicators work (November 2024), and a proposed organic law creating DIGITEG with IDB support (June 2026).
