The challenges of the Management and Performance Program as a tool for innovation in public administration: a perspective on federal public universities

Abstract

This study analyzes the implementation of the Management and Performance Program (PGD) in federal public universities, highlighting its impacts on modernizing management and transparency of results. The research, exploratory in nature and with a qualitative approach, examined the adherence of institutions to the PGD, the information systems used for its management, and the public availability of monitoring data. The results indicate widespread adoption of the PGD but also challenges in transparency and standardization of information. Many universities still do not publicly disclose program data, hindering comparative analysis and tracking results. Additionally, the diversity of platforms used compromises the uniformity of management and monitoring. The effective implementation of the PGD as a tool for innovation and performance improvement in federal public administration depends on enhancing information management, strengthening transparency, and complying with normative guidelines.
