The Survey of Basic State Information – ESTADIC presents, at regular intervals, detailed information on the structure, dynamics and operation of public state institutions through their different sectors, having the state administration as the investigation unit.
ESTADIC began in 2012 and comprises all the Federation Units, including the Federal District. The themes and issues of the basic questionnaire are regularly raised and aim at addressing the information needs of the society and of the Brazilian State. They will consolidate an up-to-date statistical and register database that provides a relevant set of indicators to assess and follow up the institutional and administrative boards of the Federation Units. In a permanent effort to update the survey, ESTADIC usually brings a supplement that includes specific subjects in a more detailed way.
The survey provides assorted information on the public state management, including the legislation and existing planning instruments in this administration sphere; organization of the state administration; staff by employment relationship, both in the direct and indirect administration; financial resources used by management; and public sectoral policies in the areas surveyed (housing, transportation, agriculture, environment, etc.), among other aspects.
The periodicity of the survey is annual. The geographic coverage is national, with results released for Brazil, Major Regions and Federation Units.
