Cambera de Castro wins Diamond Transparency Seal with 96.56% index

Castro's Câmara Municipal won the Selo Diamante in the 2026 cycle of the National Program of Transparência Pública (PNTP), reaching an index of 96.56% in the evaluation of its Transparency Portal. The certification represents the highest level of recognition granted by the program and is intended for institutions that achieve scores above 95% in the established criteria.

The result places the military legislature in a prominent position in the scenario of transparência pública. The index achieved exceeds the averages recorded by the Paraná, of 79.50%, and by Brazil, of 69.95%, in this evaluation cycle. In the state, only 29 municipalities won the Selo Diamante in 2026.

In addition to the overall performance, the Castro Chamber met 100% of the criteria considered essential by the program, reinforcing the quality of the information provided and the institutional commitment to access to information and social control.

The result achieved is the result of the joint work of the House of Laws sectors, and the commitment of the current management with the improvement of transparency and accountability mechanisms. In the institution, the monitoring of the requirements of the Program is coordinated by the Internal Control, in conjunction with the other areas responsible for the availability and updating of the information. The management of the Transparency Portal is done by the Media sector, in partnership with the Information Technology sector.

For the internal controller of the House, Fernanda Fontoura Quirrenbach, the recognition represents much more than a certification. “As an internal controller, I see this label as much more than an award. It is proof of our commitment to ethics, responsibility and respect for public money and the citizen. Transparency is not just about publishing data. It is to give the citizen the right to understand, to follow and to trust. And today, our House shows that it is up to that trust. My thanks to all the team that have dedicated themselves to us so that we can reach this result," he said.

Assessment and history

Coordinated by the Association of Members of the Brazilian Courts of Accounts (Atricon), in partnership with the courts of accounts throughout Brazil and entities related to transparency, public communication and external control, the PNTP evaluates the transparency portals of public institutions at the national level.

The methodology of the 2026 cycle includes 181 criteria, distributed in 22 evaluation dimensions. The analysis covers from basic aspects, such as the existence and accessibility of portals, to information related to the waiver of revenues, parliamentary amendments and adequacy to the General Data Protection Law (LGPD). The criteria are verified from evidence presented by the institutions themselves and validated by the respective Courts of Auditors.

The certification is divided into three categories – Silver, Gold and Diamond – the latter being the most recognized, granted to institutions that reach rates above 95%.

The trajectory of the Chamber of Castro in the evaluations of the PNTP demonstrates the advances and challenges of the continuous improvement of institutional transparency. In previous cycles, the institution recorded the following indices:

2022: 82,68% — Silver;

2023: 78.78% — High;

2024: 99,69% — Selo Diamante;

2025: 71,19% — Intermediate;

2026: 96,56% — Selo Diamante.

The new certification reaffirms the commitment of Castro’s Câmara Municipal to transparência pública, the publicity of administrative acts and the right of the population to monitor and oversee the application of public resources.

More than an institutional achievement, the Selo Diamante represents the recognition of a collective work focused on public responsibility and the strengthening of trust between the Poder Legislativo and society.
