Centro de governo: a coordenação da função de monitoramento de desempenho nas políticas públicas no governo do estado do Rio de Janeiro.

Abstract

The Center of Government, defined as an institution or group of institutions that aim to support and coordinate government activities, in order to fulfill the objectives outlined in government promises and programs. In a study carried out by the OECD (2013), the main functions performed by the centers of government were identified, highlighting among the functions, the coordination of monitoring the performance of public policies. This function gains relevance as the object of the present research, in view of the indication of a deficient monitoring of public policies, both in terms of budget monitoring, as well as in the qualitative field of deliveries. In view of this, the present study had as its main objective to investigate the center of government, as a governance structure, as well as to understand how the mechanisms of coordination and dialogue used between the other sectors of the State work, in the functions of monitoring the performance of public policies generated by the Executive branch of the state of Rio de Janeiro; and as secondary objectives: to identify the available institutional environment, assembled through the correlation of forces and interests in the political and administrative context of the State, as well as the actors involved, influencing the coordination between performance monitoring functions, in the state government of Rio de Janeiro; verify the structure, formation and size of the center of government in the State and analyze which resources and instruments are involved in the coordination of the performance monitoring function in the center of government. The theoretical framework was developed through the conceptual contribution of the center of government, its relationship with governance arrangements, including institutional arrangements and transaction costs. In the present research, bibliographical research, documentary research and field research were used as data collection methods, considering the current government (2019-2022). Failures regarding the coordination of monitoring remained evident, in view of the lack of normative uniformity. However, there has been evidence of progress and improvement in the monitoring coordination function, which was responsible for breaking a cycle of 6 consecutive years in which the Government Accounts had been the object of a previous contrary opinion, as well as for the elaboration and availability of valuable instruments that reinforce the guarantee of transparency and accountability.
