Análisis del comportamiento de la asignación y ejecución de los recursos asignados para SGP- APSB de Guadalupe, Santander

Abstract

The primary goal of this study is to analyze the allocation and execution behavior of resources assigned to the General System of Participations for Drinking Water and Basic Sanitation (SGPAPSB) in the municipality of Guadalupe Santander during 2020 and 2021. This analysis aims to better understand the efficiency and effectiveness of these funds in terms of improvements in the municipality's water and sanitation infrastructure. The research uses a mixed approach that combines quantitative and qualitative methods for analysis. Primary data were gathered through official reports, interviews, and surveys in the municipality. A documentary analysis of relevant national policies and regulations was also used to contextualize the findings and budgetary decisions. The findings indicate that although significant resources were allocated through the SGP-APSB, the actual execution of the funds was uneven. In 2020 and 2021, budget execution reached approximately 80%, and the projects implemented primarily focused on improving existing infrastructure rather than new constructions. The study concludes that despite the adequate allocation of resources, there are deficiencies in execution that limit the effectiveness of water and sanitation projects in Guadalupe Santander. A critical need to improve monitoring and evaluation mechanisms is identified to ensure greater effectiveness in the use of SGP-APSB resources and, thereby, enhance the well-being of the local community.
