The President of the IBGE, Roberto Olinto Ramos, met last August 14 with the President of the Judges Association of the State of Rio de Janeiro - Amaerj, Renata Gil, aiming at cooperating in the production of statistics on security, justice and citizenship. The Director of Surveys, Claudio Crespo, and the Coordinator of Population and Social Indicators, Barbara Cobo, were also present in the meeting at the headquarters of Amaerj.

As one of the outcomes of the meeting, the Association will sensitize judges and servants of the Justice on the need to provide the IBGE with information to produce the Vital Statistics survey, which includes data on births, deaths, marriages and divorces. The Association will help to circulate the notification released by the Inspector-General of Justice, Cláudio de Mello Tavares, on August 9 to judges and servants of the Family Courts in the state of Rio de Janeiro, in order to provide the IBGE with such information.
In the notification, the Inspector-General determines "the need to cooperate with the technicians authorized by the IBGE, providing numerical information related to the acts and proceedings under your responsibility, protecting the confidentiality of the parties involved." Requested by the IBGE, the measure was taken after some refusals to provide information to the Vital Statistics survey, on the part of judges and servants of the courts, alleging either legal confidentiality, lack of personnel or password to support the IBGE.
"More and more our statistics must intertwine with other organizations, not only to reduce costs, but to expand our work and eventually disseminate it on a wider basis, so as to be better understood by persons", stated the President of the IBGE, Roberto Olinto.
Another decision taken in the meeting is that the Information Technology areas of Amaerj and IBGE will establish a partnership in order to capture the data in an automated way, at system level, aiming at smoothing the data collection. The idea is that the state of Rio de Janeiro be a pilot in this initiative, to be replicated in the other states.
