Controle aplicável às políticas públicas: análise do processo de concepção, implementação e avaliação em Minas Gerais

Abstract

Every day you can see a number of projects around the cities that are under the responsibility of the Government and whose results are unsatisfactory: abandoned works, results fall short, public money wasted. Believing no longer possible to live with such situations this paper aims to discuss the use of control mechanisms applied to public policies as a way to contribute both to improving the process of design, implementation and evaluation of policies implemented in Minas Gerais as well as the actual government planning. For this, the use of audit work, which periodically generate reports about the performance of government programs, is a good alternative to deal with this situation, since this activity assesses the planning cycle, starting from the analysis of the problems that justify institution of these programs, through its execution, until the results. These reports, as rich sources of information, has great potential to cooperate with the improvement of public planning, and thus contribute to the population that they are offered higher quality public services, and public policies that address, more effectively, requirements placed by citizens of Minas Gerais.
