Digepres presents Budget Management Performance Evaluation Report: institutional response level was 95% in 2022

The document reflects the budget execution process of institutions within the Integrated Financial Management System (SIGEF) through a self-assessment and monitoring process. To ensure the efficient and transparent use of budgets and the improvement of budget management processes in state institutions, the General Directorate of Budget is publishing, for the second time, the Annual Performance Evaluation Report for the 2022 fiscal year. The document reflects the institutional self-assessments and records maintained by institutions within the Integrated Financial Management System (SIGEF) and summarizes the results of physical compliance, its relationship to expenditure execution, and the resulting effects. According to the document, as of the close of fiscal year 2022, the institutional response to the self-assessment process was 195 reports from the 206 participating Implementing Units, representing 95.1% coverage. The report for the past year also shows improvements in budget performance following the implementation of an enhanced version of the Budget Management Indicator (BMI), rising from an average score of 76.26% at the beginning of the year to 85.96%. Regarding Results-Oriented Budget Programs, it demonstrates progress in the final results indicators of eight programs designed under this methodology. Challenges Turned into Opportunities: Among the findings of the Annual Performance Evaluation Report for the 2022 management period, the document highlights the strengthening of institutional capacities to better align institutional budgets with operational planning during the execution phase, thereby reducing the number of budget modifications associated with outputs. In physical and financial terms, a noteworthy aspect is the creation of monitoring mechanisms to ensure due process for reprogramming and adjustments to physical and financial targets, according to established deadlines, especially those resulting from budget modifications, including internal resources or donations. Regarding Results-Oriented Budget Programs, it suggests reviewing the final and intermediate outcome indicators defined in the design of these programs and considers the new guidelines established to ensure timely and accurate progress information. Legal Framework and Compliance with the Law The Annual Budget Performance Evaluation Report is prepared pursuant to Articles 59, 60, and 61 of the Organic Budget Law for the Public Sector No. 423-06, as well as Paragraph IV of Article 50 of the implementing regulations approved by Decree No. 492-07.
