Instituto Legislativo Paulista

What Instituto Legislativo Paulista does

Instituto Legislativo Paulista (ILP) is a public educational and research institute that operates as the civic-education arm of the Assembleia Legislativa do Estado de São Paulo (ALESP), the state legislative body of São Paulo, Brazil. Founded in 2001 and headquartered at Palácio 9 de Julho in São Paulo, ILP delivers courses, events, and reflection programs aimed at strengthening public understanding of legislative processes and democratic participation. Its stated audiences are citizens of São Paulo state and the parliamentary staff and officials of the assembly itself.

The institute's service portfolio comprises six primary product lines: TV Alesp (legislative broadcasting); the ILP itself (courses and events); the Portal da Transparência (transparency and procurement disclosure); Dados Abertos (open-data platform publishing government datasets in machine-readable formats); the Biblioteca Digital (digital archive of legislation, historical documents, and institutional records); and the Programa Alesp de Portas Abertas (guided public visits to the Legislative Palace). Together these form an integrated civic-education stack that complements ALESP's core legislative functions, with no commercial technology stack or third-party integrations disclosed.

ILP operates as a non-commercial government entity. All courses and educational services are provided free of charge to citizens, and the institute is publicly funded through ALESP's state-government budget. It does not pursue pricing-based monetization, has no funding rounds, no investor base, no subsidiaries, and no M&A activity. Headcount is reported at 1–10 staff, consistent with a small educational unit within a much larger state legislative apparatus rather than an independent operating company.
