Experiência do Observatório de Londrina é apresentada no México
A experiência do Observatório de Gestão Pública de Londrina (OGPL) foi apresentada em um evento no México e está sendo estudada por um grupo de pesquisa da Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina (Udesc). O vice-presidente do OGPL, Roger Trigueiros, foi até Cidade do México para participar do Primeiro Encontro Internacional de Controle Cidadão no Âmbito Municipal, organizado pelo Centro de Controladoria Social e Estudos da Construção Democrática.
Trigueiros foi um dos palestrantes do encontro e contou a trajetória do Observatório de Gestão Pública de Londrina. Também explicou como a entidade executa o trabalho de análise de licitações, acompanhamento de contratos, além dos projetos de cidadania, como o Observatório Mirim e o Prêmio Londrina de Cidadania.
Cidade do México se organiza para melhorar a prática do controle social e, por isso, convidou o Observatório de Londrina para contar a experiência concreta de um grupo de moradores que se organizou para criar uma entidade, em busca de maior eficiência e transparência na gestão pública.
Além do Brasil, o encontrou contou com palestrantes e exemplos da Bolívia, Guatemala, Moçambique e do próprio México. “O Primeiro Encontro Internacional de Controle Cidadão no Âmbito Municipal ainda contribuiu para que outras experiências desenvolvidas no mundo fossem conhecidas pelo Observatório”, destacou o vice-presidente Roger Trigueiros.
Pesquisa da Udesc
O trabalho do Observatório de Gestão Pública de Londrina também é alvo de uma pesquisa coordenada pelo grupo Politeia, da Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina, em colaboração com a Rede Observatório Social do Brasil e a U4 – Anti-Corruption Resource Center, centro de pesquisa com sede na Noruega.
As pesquisadoras Florencia Guerzovich e Paula Chies Schommer estiveram em Londrina neste mês de junho para conhecer o trabalho do OGPL e sua articulação com diversos segmentos, no combate à corrupção e na realização de avanços em gestão pública e em cidadania. Elas acompanharam parte do trabalho cotidiano da equipe do Observatório, participaram da II Conferência Municipal de Transparência e Controle Social e ainda entrevistaram gestores de diversos segmentos, incluindo Prefeitura, CMTU, Câmara, Conselhos Locais, Sebrae, ACIL e jornalistas.
A visita é parte de uma pesquisa sobre o monitoramento de compras e serviços públicos, com foco no trabalho realizado por observatórios sociais. Busca-se identificar elementos de contexto dos observatórios, suas estratégias, resultados, aprendizagem e efeitos em controle social e accountability. Além do Observatório de Gestão Pública de Londrina, a pesquisa detalha a atuação dos Observatórios Sociais de Itajaí, em Santa Catarina, e de Rondonópolis, no Mato Grosso.
Os resultados do trabalho serão divulgados no segundo semestre. Em Londrina, chamou a atenção das pesquisadoras o engajamento e a articulação de diversos segmentos locais na construção de instrumentos pelos quais a cidade vem se destacando no combate à corrupção e na construção de alternativas para qualificar as compras públicas e a governança da cidade.
“O processo de aprendizagem em curso inclui avanços no desenho dos termos de referência, nos aspectos legais, na formação de preços, no incentivo à concorrência, na gestão dos contratos, na fiscalização das entregas de produtos e prestação dos serviços, e, de modo mais geral, nos mecanismos de transparência, controle social e governança. Avanços que são possíveis pelo diálogo e pela articulação entre servidores públicos e cidadãos de diversos segmentos da sociedade”, apontaram as pesquisadoras Florencia Guerzovich e Paula Chies Schommer.

The GPSA’s 2nd annual Global Partners Forum brought together a diverse and dynamic group of speakers and panelists providing in-depth insight and actionable tools, models, and mechanisms for constructive engagement that have worked in other countries. A variety of case studies served as a discussion point for the ongoing debate and efforts in key areas in the field of social accountability such as:healthcare, education, and infrastructure.

“Are We Really Learning? Making Grant-making Practices More Conducive to Grantee Learning” | Webinar & E-Forum with the Transparency and Accountability Initiative | June 3-24 | 

Organizations need to learn constantly, and translate that learning into practice. Too often, external funding can force organizations towards rigid and linear projects with little scope for adaptation and little incentive (or support) to prioritize learning. So how can grant-making processes be more conducive to grantee learning without it becoming an imposed external agenda? Multiple participants will represent a wide range of grant-making institutions and grant recipients from philanthropic foundations, official aid agencies and civil society.

The Knowledge Platform is the GPSA’s main tool for supporting the learning, networking and knowledge exchange of the GPSA’s grantees and of other CSOs working on social accountability in the global south.
We asked one active member of the Knowledge Platform, Paula Chies Schommer, to tell us more about why she joined and how it has enriched her work: “I joined the Knowledge Platform to learn and participate in the latest debates and trends on social accountability and to bring those to the Brazilian academic field. Over the last year, I have coordinated research projects on citizen engagement, social control, co-production of public services, public management, and social accountability.

“Social Accountability for Citizen-Centric Governance: A Changing Paradigm” será o tema do GPSA Global Partners Forum 2015

Social Accountability for Citizen-Centric Governance: A Changing Paradigm
 
Washington, DC | May 12-13, 2015
The GPSA Partners Forum brings together civil society organizations, academia, businesses and governments from all around the globe, providing a space to reflect on social accountability theory and practice, and define the future social accountability agenda.

This 2015 Forum will focus on the shifting paradigm in social accountability towards a citizen-centric governance approach. We will explore how the emerging concept of ‘strategic’ social accountability will play an important role in how citizen-centered governance is realized.
The Forum will explore strategic social accountability practice and learning in key sectors such as health, education, municipal services, extractives and others. Topical issues for strategic social accountability practice such as political economy interventions, constructive engagement, coalition building, citizen trust, and others, will be deliberated.
A highlight of the Forum will be the presence of the World Bank Group President, Jim Yong Kim, for a direct dialogue with GPSA partners, and the presentation of the GPSA Leadership in Social Accountability Awards.
