Avaliação das funções de Governo nas Capitais Nordestinas através da análise multicritério.

Abstract

Knowing the relevance of the studies directed to the public administration, and in view of the political, social and economic facts that have occurred in the Brazilian scenario in the last years, the number of citizens concerned with the expenses made by the managers grows. For this, the functions of government allow the citizen to visualize with more transparency the applications of the resources raised by means of taxes according to their area of investment. It is hoped that this research will reduce gaps in the dissemination and analysis of government functions, cooperating in broadening the debate around public policies, and in the participation of society in this process. This research was composed of the nine Northeastern capitals of Brazil and their respective data published in the Summary Report on Budget Execution (Relatório Resumido de Execução Orçamentária - RREO) for the years 2010 to 2016. The present research was carried out in the development of a methodology capable of evaluating municipal public management through the per capita spending on government functions, and so performance rankings were set up according to the subclasses of these functions. It was observed that Recife and Fortaleza obtained better results, and Maceió occupied the last place of the ranking during the studied period. It is recommended that in later studies, public investments should be confronted with the administrative reality, providing greater credibility to the published data.
