From 2005 up to 2022, according with the evolution of FODESAF´s cash flow, its income was around US$ 13 thousand million, resources that have been transferred, nearly in a 100% basis, to social programs nationwide. Only in the year 2022, the total amount of money transferred to the market was around US$ 1.000 million.

Such massive amount of resources of FODESAF´s cash flow has been analyzed due to the design of a Data Pipeline in R. Its inputs stage (ingest) are all reports and data coming from technical-internal offices and external institutions. The processing stage is constituded by data mdeling and tidy packages in R. The final outputs (results) are HTML reports in Quarto© for managerial levels and government officials, as well as Power Bi© reports inserted in FODESAF´s webpage for general consultation of citizenship as a whole, in order to achieve transparency mandates.

Due to the usage of R, large amounts of data are processed to generate high-quality final products, in order to support the design of better public-social policies.
