In a significant ceremony recognizing ethical governance, the Dominican Civil Aviation Institute (IDAC) was awarded national honors for its exemplary implementation of merit-based systems and promotion of equal opportunities within the public sector. The distinction was conferred during the 2025 National Campaign for Integrity in Public Administration, titled “Dominicana sin corrupción” (Corruption-Free Dominican Republic), an initiative spearheaded by the General Directorate of Government Ethics and Integrity (DIGEIG).
The award specifically acknowledges IDAC’s institutional dedication to transparent operational processes, performance-driven employee development, and equitable workforce policies—core values aligning with the fifth iteration of this government-wide integrity campaign. Deputy Director General Paola Aimée Plá Puello accepted the accolade, stating that this recognition reinforces IDAC’s foundational commitment to ethical governance, administrative transparency, and public integrity, which are essential pillars for fostering citizen trust and establishing a more just and effective public administration.
Milagros Ortiz Bosch, Director General of DIGEIG, presided over the event and issued a call to action for all government bodies to enhance their performance across evaluated metrics, with particular focus on measures combating corruption—a policy priority repeatedly emphasized by President Luis Abinader’s administration.
Several other institutions received parallel recognition for their integrity efforts, including the Airport Department, the Commission for the Promotion of National Irrigation System Technification, the Civil Aviation Board (JAC), and the Directorate of Road and Avenue Beautification. The ceremony was attended by high-ranking officials such as Andrés Bautista, Administrative Minister of the Presidency; José Rijo Presbot, Director General of the National Budget Office; and Félix Antonio Santana García, Comptroller General of the Republic, underscoring the event’s importance within the government’s broader anti-corruption agenda.
