Marcio Pochmann, president of the IBGE, remarked that “this agreement will give us the possibility of seeing Brazil from a different perspective. The survey and the data are necessary to restructure and redefine public policies. In this respect, the idea is to create a National System of Geosciences, Statistics and Data (SINGED) to combine the existing statistics, since each ministry has their respective database, but now we need to have an overall view.”

Pochmann also highlighted that "without data sovereignty, we have had a reduced capacity to influence of determine public policies of fundamental importance for the people in Brazil. Integration is something that affects us and that is why we are together here with ministries.”

Marcos Mazzoni, director of Technology of the IBGE, explained the intention of creating a sovereignty cloud. “It is a cloud no longer built in multinational companies, but based on open source software. The intention of the Institute is to have a Sovereign cloud so that we do not get dependent or open our information”.

The director considers that the SINGED “is an integration of public and private data intended to change the infrastructure of data Governance, so that we will have more effective participation of the State to unify and of the IBGE to validate the data.”

The president of the National Institute of Social Security (INSS), Alessandro Stefanutto, highlighted that the importance of the IBGE is to “enlighten society in relation to State planning. The Institute’s recognition goes beyond this agreement. The INSS considers this agreement will enlighten the making of better decisions and of more elaborated planning. The arrival of the IBGE will help us in surveys and scientific productions and also to fight fake narratives and arguments.”

Wolney Queiroz is executive secretary for the Ministry of Social Security, and says that “this partnership will be important for our 40 million beneficiaries and more than 60 million Brazilians who receive some kind of aid from INSS.
