On Thursday 30 November, 2023, FreeBalance, the leading provider of digital technology and advisory services for national governments, announced a new partnership with the Ministry of Finance in Costa Rica to deliver a comprehensive programme of digital transformation. The project, funded by the World Bank, aims to improve the efficiency, effectiveness and client orientation of tax and customs administration and public expenditure management, through the digital transformation of the Ministry of Finance.
Manuel Schiappa Pietra, President and CEO of FreeBalance, said “This transformative project delivers critical reforms and establishes a foundation for improved fiscal and societal outcomes for the citizens of Costa Rica. Having worked with governments around the world to improve governance, accountability, transparency and citizen wellbeing, FreeBalance is in a unique position to support the Government of Costa Rica on its digital transformation journey, and we look forward to collaborating.”
The project will transform government financial management in Costa Rica, prioritising efficiency, transparency, and citizen engagement. By transforming government resource planning at the strategic and operational levels, Costa Rican citizens will gain visibility into how public funds are collected, invested, and impact their lives. The project fosters a citizen-centric culture within the government, placing citizens at the forefront of service delivery to enhance social outcomes and satisfaction.
FreeBalance has partnered with Computer Network Systems Limited (CNS) to provide their unified government technology platform and specialist government advisory and technical implementation services. Development experts from CNS will collaborate closely with the FreeBalance team to achieve the Ministry of Finance’s vision of becoming a digital leader.
The project is expected to have far-reaching benefits outside government operations, such as increased revenue for public investments, more efficient data generation and processing, and improved customer service. A local office has been established in San José to foster seamless collaboration with government stakeholders, and ongoing support and sustainability services will be provided by a local team, backed by FreeBalance’s global and regional experts.
