Evaluación integral del cumplimiento del plan de desarrollo implementado por el gobierno de Robinson Manosalva en el municipio de Aguachica, Cesar, durante el periodo 2020-2023

Abstract

During the 2020-2023 period, public administration in Aguachica, Cesar, faced significant challenges in ensuring inclusive and sustainable development through the implementation of the "Primero Aguachica" Development Plan under Robinson Manosalva’s administration. Evaluating the fulfillment of this plan is crucial to measure the effectiveness of local policies and their impact on the community’s quality of life. This study aimed to comprehensively assess the achievement of the plan’s goals, objectives, and determining factors of success or failure. A mixed methodology was employed, combining explanatory and descriptive approaches with qualitative and quantitative analyses based on secondary data from official sources. The results indicate substantial progress in areas such as education, health, and housing, with projects enhancing educational and healthcare infrastructure as well as access to basic services. However, challenges were also identified in environmental sustainability and budget execution, which constrained the fulfillment of certain proposed goals. These findings underscore the importance of designing adaptive strategies that address the local context’s specific needs while reinforcing continuous monitoring and evaluation mechanisms. In conclusion, the comprehensive evaluation of the plan highlights the necessity of optimizing public management in Aguachica by strengthening transparency, citizen participation, and the sustainability of public policies to consolidate progress and institutional trust in future governmental terms.
