Monitoramento da implementação de projetos pelas entidades delegatárias das funções de agências de águas no Brasil: análise de processos e procedimentos

Abstract

The delegated entities responsible for the functions of water agencies, provided for by Law No. 10,881/2004, aim to provide technical-operational support for the management of water resources through planning, execution and monitoring of approved actions and projects and determined in the water resources plans of each River Basin Committee that have a signed management contract. The Agência de Bacia Hidrográfica Peixe Vivo – APV, the Associação Pró-Gestão das Águas da Bacia Hidrográfica do Rio Paraíba do Sul – AGEVAP and the Fundação Agência das Bacias Piracicaba, Capivari e Jundiaí – Fundação PCJ, are consolidated and experienced institutions in the work they carry out. They all have a structure compatible with their institutional missions, including general assemblies, boards of directors and fiscal councils, internal bodies that carry out important supervision, inspection and guaranteeing compliance with their legal, statutory and contractual duties. They also have executive boards with capable technical management and staff with good qualifications and competence. This research work carried out a comparative study, with a qualitative approach, applied nature and exploratory objective with field interviews, questionnaires and data search, of the project monitoring procedures adopted by these Brazilian delegated entities and concluded that they have amateur monitoring processes the implementation of projects that impact their performance. This is caused by a series of factors such as a mentality of monitoring deadlines, which is limited to checking the efficiency criteria, checking whether the deliveries and products, foreseen by the terms of reference, are made within the contracted calendar, insufficient administrative teams and undemanding demands and goals imposed by the contracting management body. Finally, this study proposed macro suggestions for improving their internal processes for monitoring project implementation in order to contribute to improving the work of these entities within the scope of water resources management.
