represents the smallest jurisdictional unit of the government, in that sense they must be
equipped with the legal instruments and tools to meet the demands of their powers
(among which we can highlight the administration of public services and municipal
assets to determine acceptable levels of quality of life in parishes, communities, sectors).
Finally, according to Daher (2008), correctly assume the results of the evaluation of these
programs, leads to face the challenge of analyzing and evaluating them taking into
consideration the multidimensional universe that implies, which could be achieved
following a comprehensive evaluation model.
Regarding previous national studies, Alvarado & Morón (2011) they establish that public
decision-makers in Peru have decided in 2007 to modernize the way of budgeting and
have started the implementation of the budget for results (PpR for its acronym in
Spanish), which was tested in 2008. The working hypothesis was that the potential of
the PpR was discovered, its implementation will have to overcome a series of difficulties
that must be resolved and/or to promote at the sectoral level and at the level of the
modernization of the State. On the other hand, Shack (2006) includes three topics: (i)
What is a budget for results?, how do you implement a PpR in Public Management?; (ii)
strategy, preconditions and instruments, what is their relationship with other budget
innovations?; (iii) transparency and citizen participation.
Ricse (2007) is referred to four aspects: antecedents, objectives, implementation and
challenges of the process. He addressed the issues to consider in the preparation and
formulation of the PpR: the challenges of the PpR formulation process, and the roles
and functions in the process of setting goals for the improvement of public services.
Regarding the theoretical referential framework, the following variables have been
taken into account: variable budget by results. For Álvarez (2010) “the Budgeting for
Results aims to strengthen the effectiveness and equity of public spending, to
contribute to the improvement of the performance of the State regarding the well-being
of the population, in particular, the poor and excluded” (p. 521). Finally, for Reilly (2010)
“the new approach to results-based budgeting points to an integrative vision between
planning and the same budget and therefore associates actions and actors for the
success of the results” (p. 6). The following dimensions of the variable budgets by result,
dimension procedures and control mechanisms, were taken into account. This
dimension has the following indicators: performance monitoring, “the Monitoring of the
PP is the set of actions destined to continuously collect and analyze the information of
the performance indicators, as well as their budget execution and the fulfillment of goals
in their physical dimension” (Art. 83, Law No. 28411, General Law of the National
Budget System); the accountability indicator, this is “social accountability and
participatory budgeting within the framework of the design of the monitoring and
evaluation system for public spending” (Ravina, 2005, p. 23 ); and the citizen
participation indicator. Regarding the dimension of results-oriented management
capacity, its indicators are: specialized personnel (Maravi, 2006); the indicator for
training programs, according to Siliceo (2004) “training is the mean or instrument that
teaches and develops systematically, and places in circumstances of competition and
competitiveness, to any person” (p. 24); and the incentive systems indicator. As well as
the dimension systems of measurement and evaluation of results, for Carmona (2012):
