Orçamento Geral da União: um estudo da não aprovação de projetos apresentados a uma instituição financeira para utilização de recursos no Vale do Paraíba e litoral norte de São Paulo

Abstract

This research aims to identify the main reasons for the rejection of projects presented to a Financial Institution in order to obtain resources from the General Budget of the Union in the Paraiba Valley and North Coast of the State of São Paulo. It brings decentralization concepts, public policies, budget, programs and projects. It also illustrates the Financial Institute’s role in making the voluntary transfers possible through Transfer Agreements. The methodology consists of bibliographic research and documental research of the Financial Institute’s archives, using sources that made evident identification of errors and missing elements in the proposals forwarded to the institution. The purpose is to describe each step of the projects’ analysis: to show the Institution’s activities in the area of advisory and support to those who are interested in obtaining Federal Funds; and especially to identify the reasons for the rejections of projects. Among the main results stood out: the lack of framework between the projects and the government programs; fund requests for the execution of work and services already performed using third-party funds and by determination of the Decree 7.468, of April 28th, 2011, which canceled the remaining funds for the financial periods of 2007, 2008 and 2009.
