Abstract

This project analyzes the budget execution of the Early Childhood programs of the ICBF Regional Meta, during the period 2019 - 2022. The objective was to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency, identifying the factors that will affect the budget execution and the impact that was generated in early childhood programs, in order to lead academia and decision-making based on evidence. Likewise, some recommendations are proposed to contribute to improving the quality and scope of these programs. The methodology implemented was qualitative, favoring the interpretation of the financial and contextual components that will affect budget execution during this period, applying a descriptive and investigative approach, through data collection, application of interviews, data analysis to understand the behavior of budget execution. The analysis of budget execution resulted in effective management of financial resources. It was identified that some factors such as changes in government policies, socioeconomic contexts and Internal Coordination influenced budget execution. The impact on the comprehensive development of early childhood programs can improve if a constant analysis and evaluation is carried out in the distribution of resources and their effectiveness in priority programs. In addition, it is recommended to strengthen Internal Coordination, optimize budget allocation, continuous staff training, community participation and implementation of technological innovation.
