¿Qué factores influyen en el desempeño del sistema de seguimiento y evaluación de las políticas públicas sociales a nivel territorial?

The effective management of public policies requires monitoring and evaluation systems to measure their performance. This study focuses on analyzing the factors that influence the performance of such a system in the municipality of Tenjo, Cundinamarca. Methodologies from the Harvard Kennedy School, such as PDIA and SPDI, are employed for a dynamic and participatory approach. Analytical categories based on Gonzalez's theory (2015) are established to understand the specific dynamics and challenges of the SyE system in Tenjo. Information is derived from interviews and document review and analyzed using the Nvivo program. Findings reveal deficiencies in policy formulation, resource limitations, and lack of information for decision-making. Phase two delves into these barriers, identifying root causes such as lack of personnel training. Concrete actions are proposed, such as developing a comprehensive design methodology and improving information systems. The study offers recommendations to strengthen institutional capacity in SyE and improve public policy processes in Tenjo and similar municipalities, contributing to the development of applied knowledge in local public policies.
