Framework sistêmico para o aprimoramento da gestão de recursos públicos: o caso do PROAP na Universidade Federal de Alagoas

Abstract

The Postgraduate Support Program (PROAP) is an institute that aims to provide better conditions for the training of human resources, as well as for the production and deepening of knowledge in stricto sensu postgraduate courses, maintained by Brazilian public institutions. However, from 2015 to 2022, it was found that several PPGs (Postgraduate Programs) at UFAL and other federal universities did not use the amounts sent by CAPES to PROAP in full, resulting in their return, even within a scenario of scarcity of financial resources. In view of this, the present study aims to develop a strategy, through the proposition of recommendations, to deal with the problem presented. The research has a qualitative approach, based on documentary research and interviews, analysis through Soft Systems Methodology (SSM) and construction of an action plan based on the 5W2H tool, so that the resources allocated to PROAP are used fully and effectively. Finally, some of the main problems diagnosed were: the lack of publicity regarding PROAP within the PPGs, bureaucracy and the short time window for implementation. And some of the main recommended actions were: training through a video tutorial, benchmarking and expanding dialogue internally and externally.
