Transparency Platform

What is OpenAIP?

Turning AIP PDFs into citizen-readable open data.

OPENAIP transforms Local Government Unit (LGU) Annual Investment Plans from static PDF documents into structured, searchable, and visual open data.

By converting complex budget information into accessible formats, we make local government planning transparent and understandable to all citizens.

The platform provides real-time insights into how public funds are allocated across sectors, programs, and projects-empowering communities to actively participate in local governance.
