Evaluación exploratoria de resultados de la política pública para el fortalecimiento de las artes y la cultura en el departamento de Antioquia, entre los años 2015 a 2020

Abstract

This academic document carries out an exploratory evaluation of the results of the public policy to strengthen arts and culture in Antioquia, in its component of financing cultural projects, through public calls between the years 2015 to 2020. In this document, the reader will be able to learn about the behavior of public investment in Incentives for Artistic Creation - ECA, in the established evaluation period, as well as the way in which the subregions of the department have participated in these competitive funds, and the artistic areas and modalities that register greater or lesser participation. Among the important results established by the evaluation carried out, the trust that both beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries have in this public policy instrument, and the contribution of the ECA`s as a tool to counter corruption stand out. Secondly, there is evidence of a breach in the allocation of the public investment items that must be executed by the Institute of Culture and Heritage of Antioquia - ICPA, according to Ordinance 012 of 2015, and the insufficiency in the administrative capacity and institutional architecture to execute adequately RCTs. Finally, this document proposes some recommendations for the improvement of public policy, in relation to the need for a general review, framed in the first ten (10) years of its implementation, and a focus on actions aimed at overcoming the deficiencies found.
