1. Integral System of RbB Development
Here we consider the application and analysis of two questionnaires: one to measure the advance of the GDF on the implementation of a Administration for Results (AfR) and another to value the congruency of its programs. We also consider the design of some matrixes of the logical framework and technical manuals that capture the proposed strategies, according to the analysis and design conclusions.
To analyze the advance in terms of the AfR, the questionnaire designed by the PRODEV is used, which guarantees the objectivity of the results, as this organization has hugely contributed to the creation of methodologies linked with the measurement of the governments’ development. The PRODEV methodology measures the evolution in terms of planning, budget, financial administration, programs and projects as well as monitoring and evaluation.
In general, during 2010, the GDF made a 57% progress on these areas, being strategic planning the most representative. These results surpass by 50% those seen in 2008. One other of the activities on this component is the analysis of the consistency of the GDF’s public programs. Like in the earlier case, in order to measure this, a series of questions were used. Through them, the link between the objectives of one program was identified, in other words, whether they had a cause and effect relation. It’s degree of monitoring, as well as their level of compliance was also examined.
The former technique was applied over 10 public programs, the most representative in terms of budget and public services coverage. For the mentioned programs and four more, indicator matrixes were built, applying the Logical Framework Methodology. In order to achieve this, the offices that run the programs were called to workshops which were attended by public servants directly involved in resource administration, design, planning, execution and evaluation functions.
To do it this way, guaranteed a better design of the matrixes since, under the supervision of an expert in Logical Framework Methodology, better aligned objectives, indicators and more pertinent verification means were established for each program, and risks on the execution of the programs were identified. With the information on the works of this component the RfA and RbB manuals were created, which, aside from the conceptual aspects of each of these systems, also include recommendations to continue the process of implementation of the RbB. |
