What IJSN does

IJSN - Instituto Jones dos Santos Neves is a Brazilian government research institute (autarquia governamental) founded in 1975 and linked to the Secretaria de Estado de Economia e Planejamento (SEP) of the State of Espírito Santo. The institute produces social, economic, and territorial studies that support evidence-based policymaking for the state government, its 78 municipalities, and academic partners. Its core technology stack comprises statistical analysis and research methodologies packaged into interactive business intelligence dashboards (Painéis Interativos) covering economic conjuncture, tourism, labor markets, poverty, SDG indicators, and social development; the GEOBASES geographic information platform for territorial and spatial analysis; and the SIMAPP (Sistema de Monitoramento e Avaliação de Políticas Públicas), described as the first Brazilian system to systematize monitoring and evaluation of public policies linked to the budgetary cycle, institutionalized under Law No. 10,744/2017.

The institute operates as a non-commercial government entity funded entirely through state government budget allocations rather than pricing or fees. All publications, dashboards, and analyses are distributed free of charge through the IJSN website, a physical library, the Portal da Transparência, observatories (COVID-19, Metrópoles, MulherES, Segurança Cidadã), and direct delivery to partner secretariats including SEADH, SETUR, Secult, SEDU, and SEDH. Customer relationships are structured as institutional partnerships with state and municipal governments, federal statistics agency IBGE, research funder FAPES, and the Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo (Ufes) rather than commercial contracts.

IJSN's positioning is that of an in-house official statistical and research arm of the Espírito Santo state government, combining traditional scientific methods with innovative data products. It serves horizontal segments spanning state secretariats, municipalities, academia, and the general public, with no private-sector commercial revenue, no external shareholders, and a mandate rooted in statutory institutional authority rather than competitive market positioning.
