Abstract

The aim of this paper is to analyze the quality of public management in sub-national governments (province and district municipalities) in Peru in the last two decades, specifically those with natural resource exploitation (from mining, oil, or gas), which is why they receive significant amounts from the mining canon, oil extraction canon and royalties. The study focuses on the budget implementation, the prioritized projects, and their impact on the improvement of the living standards and the reduction of poverty in the above-mentioned areas inside Peru. It concludes that there has been progress, but there is still evidence of insufficient strategic planning, inadequate investment prioritization, deficient public management, under-qualified personnel in charge and lingering social inequality that should have been significantly reduced.
