Evaluación institucional y de procesos con énfasis en el ciclo de proyectos del Sistema General de Regalías

Abstract

In 2011 the General Royalties System GRS- change the scheme through which the royalties were distributed in Colombia, letting all the territorial entities participate in an equal way. After several years of execution, it is necessary to evaluate its design, management, implementation and its capacity to achieve the goals that were proposed initially. This work evaluates the institutionalization and the processes of the new system, with a particular emphasis in the project cycle. The study was developed through the quantitative and qualitative collection and analysis of primary and secondary data, in addition to an extense field work in eight country regions (departments). The evaluation concludes that the general framework that was designed, follows an institutional model that exceeds the performance of the old royalties system. Never the less, it warns about the serious vulnerabilities that the model has, regarding the wrong functioning of its links, which often transcends the GRS.
