Evaluación de la efectividad en la administración de recursos destinados al Programa de Alimentación Escolar (PAE) en el municipio de Guarne, bajo las directrices para atender la pandemia del COVID-19 durante los años 2020 y 2021

Abstract

The School Feeding Program (PAE) is a strategy that, in addition to satisfying the nutritional requirements of children and young people during the school day, contributes significantly to the permanence of students in the official educational system. It is financed with resources from the General Participation System (SGP), royalties, own resources, resources from the general budget of the nation (PGN), other sources of financing from the private, cooperative or non-governmental sector, at the national and international level, and compensation boxes. As it is a program financed with public resources, it must be permanently monitored and controlled by the competent entities, in such a way that the correct execution of the resources is guaranteed and the practice of corruption is counteracted, and it is precisely for this reason. For this reason, the need has arisen to evaluate the effectiveness of the management of resources allocated to the PAE in the municipality of Guarne-Antioquia, under the guidelines given to address the COVID-19 pandemic during the years 2020 and 2021. This research is descriptive and is developed under a quantitative approach, with a methodology that uses secondary sources, such as the financial and budget information of the municipality of Guarne related to the students enrolled in the time period that is the subject of this research. The development of this work aims to contribute to the design of public policies through which the problem of corruption can be contained or at least mitigated, in order to benefit all the actors that makeup the PAE.
