Methodology

The survey has two units of analysis: federal and state government organizations in the executive, legislative and judicial branches and Public Prosecutor's Office, as well as local governments (executive municipal governments). The survey uses a census for government organizations in the executive, legislative and judicial branches and Public Prosecutor's Office at the federal level and the legislative and judicial branches and Public Prosecutor's Office at the state level. A sample is used for executive government organizations at the state level. At the municipal level, sample surveys were conducted in the 2013, 2015 and 2017 editions; in 2019, a census of Brazilian local governments began to be carried out.
