Responsibility Matrix
Established by Federal Bill 12,396 on 21 March 2011, which ratifies the Protocol of Intentions signed by the federal government, and Rio de Janeiro’s state and municipal administrations, the Public Olympic Authority was created as a public consortium. At the state level, ratification came through bill 5,943 from 13 April 2011, while at the municipal scope, it came as way of bill 5,260 of the same date.
APO has the goal of coordinating the federal, state and municipal governments in efforts aimed at preparing and staging the 2016 Games, particularly vis-à-vis complying with commitments made to the International Olympic and Paralympic Committees.
On 28 January 2014, in Rio de Janeiro, APO published the Responsibility Matrix. The document encompasses all commitments made by government agencies vis-à-vis the staging and organisation of the 2016 Rio Games. The Matrix lists projects, responsibilities and financial contribution related responsibilities.
On it, amounts and deadlines of projects that have had their terms for bidding or proposal requests published are listed. In the methodology adopted for the Matrix, these projects have reached a maturity level equal to or higher than 3 (see table on the Matrix Book, page 17). In the extent that projects with an indicator lower than 3 reach maturity, their amounts will be included, as they will already have significantly coherent budgets and timeframes.
In this first edition, 24 projects that have reached level 3 or over, adding to R$ 5.64 billion (January 2014 figures) were included. The more complex projects that demand more development time, such as the Athletes Village or the Olympic Park for instance, have already had their delivery deadlines and budgets published.
From the total amount, R$ 4.18 billion are being financed through partnerships with the private sector and R$ 1.46 billion, from public resources (January 2014 figures).
By bringing in an expressive volume of private resources, always using extra-budgetary incentives, the public power makes the most of investments without burdening the public budget.
The Matrix is a dynamic document, permanently followed and updated. It will be published every six months and when necessary, with the aim of ensuring transparency to the process and rendering accounts with society.
How the Matrix is organised
The Matrix is organised in groups of construction works and services related to the regions that will host events during the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games. They are:
» Barra da Tijuca Region
» Deodoro region
» Maracanã region
» Copacabana region
The Matrix and the Bid Book
The Bid Book was presented in 2009 as part of Brazil's bid to host the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The Responsibility Matrix is the current official executive document, which is subject to Brazil’s legal regulations, while the Bid Book works with estimates and concepts.
For example, since 2009 when the Bid Book was presented, projects have suffered changes of several types. Some changes were requested by the International Olympic Committee (the inclusion of gold and rugby) and others, by the Rio 2016 Committee or government agencies – for instance, transferring the Media Villa from Barra to the Port Region; and changes at some venues, like where the hockey and fencing events will be held.
In addition, the Bid Book also lists government projects not necessarily linked to the organising and staging of the Olympic event. This is the case of infrastructure construction works and public policies necessary for the population, which are being put into practice thanks to the Games. Anticipating and increasing federal, state and municipal investments is making it possible for projects to be implemented such as the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) System, line 4 of the Metro System, as well as the renovation of the port area. Therefore, these projects are not listed in the Responsibility Matrix of the 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The Responsibility Matrix is a commitment of the Brazilian state to provide transparency and credibility in the way public resources are handled, in order to stage the biggest sporting event in the world in our country.
Legacy
Even projects specifically linked to the staging of the Games will result in benefits for society after the event. For example, the Olympic Training Centre (OTC) will be a permanent legacy for Brazilian high performance sport and a benchmark in Latin America, in addition to making it possible for the city to host more national and international competitions. In Deodoro, the Radical Park will provide an important sporting and leisure legacy.
Some temporary venues – like the handball arena, which will be turned into four schools – will also leave behind permanent benefits for the population.

First update
On 29 July 2014, the Olympic Public Authority (APO), in partnership with the federal government, the government of the Rio de Janeiro State and Rio’s City Hall published the first update of the Rio 2016 Games Responsibility Matrix.
The document lists 52 projects linked exclusively to the organisation and staging of the event. According to the update, 71% of the projects have reached maturity level 4 or 5. In other words, contracts have been signed and construction works have started. On 28 January, the Matrix provided amounts and timeframes of 46% of the projects.
The Deodoro Sports Complex projects were the ones that have contributed the most to the advance achieved in relation to the Matrix’s indexes and amounts. There are 11 construction and adaptation projects underway for sports facilities that will host 11 Olympic and 4 Paralympic events. Indeed, they were in the Matrix's first version, but had no defined amounts and timeframes.
Therefore, total resources went from R$ 5.6 billion in January to R$ 6.5 billion in July. According to the update, private investments continue to lead the financing of projects, corresponding to R$ 4.2 billion (65%) of the total, with the rest of the resources coming from the public sector.
Projects advance according to maturity levels and the following indicators:
Level - Project Maturity Level
1 - Project being developed based on commitments made as a result of the bid.
2 - Draft projects or basic project/terms of reference being outlined.
3 - Terms for bidding published (for government projects) or proposal request published (private), providing the scope, cost and timeframe.
4 - Contract signed.
5 - Construction works concluded or service available.
6 - Project delivered (status “Ready for Operation” granted).

Second update
On 28 January 2015, the Olympic Public Authority, in partnership with the federal government, the government of the Rio de Janeiro State and Rio's City Hall published the second update of the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games Responsibility Matrix.
The document lists 56 projects linked exclusively to the organisation and staging of the event. From this total, 42 projects (75%) have had their values and timeframe defined, adding to R$ 6.6 billion in this second update.
In comparison to July, when resources added to R$ 6.5 billion, a progress of 1.4% has been achieved. When the Matrix was released in January 2014, a total of 52 projects, 24 had values and timeframes defined (46%), adding to R$ 5.6 billion.
Among the main highlights, advances in construction and adaptation works in the Deodoro Sport Complex, as well as energy projects for the Games. Throughout the year, 85% of projects in the Matrix had evolved to maturity level or defined who was in charge of the resources.
Most of the investments, R$ 4.24 billion (64%), are being made by the private sector. The rest, R$ 2.37 billion (36%), is being funded by the public sector. The next update is expected for July. "We have started the final stage. Focus will be on Games related operations and services", says APO president.

Third update
On 28 August 2015, the Olympic Public Authority , in partnership with the federal government, the government of the Rio de Janeiro State and Rio's City Hall published an update of the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games Responsibility Matrix. The document encompasses all commitments made by the government agencies vis-à-vis the staging and organisation of the Rio 2016 Games - in other words, that would not be made unless the Games were being staged - and lists projects and responsibilities in relation to delivery and transfer of funds.
In the third update, investments add up to R$ 6.67 billion. Forty-six projects are included in the document, of which 44 (96%) have had their contracts signed and construction works on the way. Indeed, 11 projects have been concluded.
The temporary energy and supplementary facilities projects were put into the "multi-region" theme, keeping the same maturity level. Therefore, projects went from 56 (listed in the second update) to 46. Consequently, all projects in the four Olympic regions - Barra, Deodoro, Copacabana and Maracanã – have had their values and timeframe defined.
In order to balance the Matrix's third update, important construction works were finished, like water networks, lighting and sewage, as well as electricity for the Barra Olympic Park, in addition to the golf course's energy feeding lines. After the Games, the Olympic Park energy substation, delivered in May 2015, will be used to supply power to part of Barra and surroundings, benefitting around 40 thousand inhabitants.
Most investments (R$ 4.24 billion) are being funded by the private sector. Only short term projects have not been tendered yet. In fact, tender will take place closer to the event.
In comparison to January 2015, when the second update of the document was published, there was a variation of R$ 70 million in project values, as a result of the procurement of equipment of sport facilities of the Barra Olympic Park and refurbishment of the Rowing Stadium at the Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon. The next update of the Responsibility Matrix is expected for January 2016.

Fourth update
In the year when the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games are being staged, the Olympic Public Authority (APO) published the 4th update of the Responsibility Matrix on 29 January 2016, which included the completion of another eight Olympic venues. "We anticipated the completion of important construction works, like the canoe slalom course and the mountain bike track at the Deodoro Sport Complex" informs APO president Marcelo Pedroso.
Other facilities have been delivered, like the International Broadcast Centre (IBC) and the Futuro Arena at the Barra Olympic Park, in addition to Arena Carioca 1, which has already hosted test-events for different sports. The Olympic BMX and Hockey Centres have also been finished in the Deodoro Sport Complex, as well as the golf course in Barra.
All 47 projects provided for in the document have had their values and deadlines established. Investments come to a total of R$ 7.07 billion and most of it (60%) is being funded by the private sector. In this update, amounts referring to temporary grandstands for facilities in Barra and Deodoro have been included, as well as for renting temporary power generators for the sport arenas.
