A comprehensive performance index adjusted to the different districts of Bogotá D.C.
Main Article Content
Abstract
In this paper, we present a study of the fiscal and administrative decentralization that has occurred in the 19 districts of the City of Bogotá, Columbia, using and adapting the methodology of the National Department of Planning (Departamento Nacional de Planeación — DNP), to measure the comprehensive performance of these territorial entities, especially in terms of their management and efficacy in the period 2009-2012. The results of the study showed that level of success in achieving the targets contained in each district’s development plans was no more than average, despite there being a degree of administrative decentralization in the forms of de-concentration and delegation used. This survey also showed that, according the management index, these districts did not have the necessary autonomy or sufficient funds of their own to conclude their investment projects, in good part due to the guidelines imposed by the City of Bogotá’s Mayor’s Office.
