Public Policy
answering the question "Can you mention a public policy that works as such in Colombia? What? Name one that works in your country in Latin America. In Colombia, it is not clear.
Journalism, informal question and inform the public, is responsible for facilitating and encouraging elements to exercise critical thinking and vision about issues that concern all. Nothing inherent to the collective interest that public policies, concepts in Colombia becomes the first participatory democracy with the Constitution of 1991.
The reality is that proportional to the development and practical application of social state of law statement, written in the policy letter, participatory democracy and with it public policy, have yet to materialize. There is even an ideological stance that governs, not hidden its intention to take back foot on participatory democracy. Will get back is a latent temptation. For this position there is an excess of citizen power and this should be cut.
thinking is contrary to the true development of mature democracies that do not melt governance the exclusionary power of minorities.
as is the situation of public policy processes are presented with that name in the Colombian context. No real policies in practice. The bureaucratic establishment has not yet realized the actual exercise of these.
behavior remains the sector. It shows the democratic security policy, the cornerstone of current government project, which is in electoral assessment today. It is read by all concerned as a government policy introduced as public policy. The same applies to the FTA, which begins today public education the government, already a governmental act fulfilled.
For most public servants, citizens still in government service. The world upside down.
Public policy formation
say that there is no policy of disability in Colombia is inappropriate, (they are seven years of hard work for many, some putting their own resources), stated categorically that there is effective public policy does not correspond with reality. There is no effective public policy priorities for higher sensitivity and overall impact as children, youth, elderly, or on the most "fat electorally" in the country.
In light of the document "Strengthening Public Policy and Social Mobilization Disabilities" published by the government, there is nothing to invent, it's just a matter of doing what is stated there. As in the Bible or the Constitution itself in 1991 in Colombia, most of the writing is to be seen. One thing is clear verse reciting incoherent action followed, and another to practice law as there should be as entered.
Babelia
The complexity is very high. Conflict remains the crossing and approaches. Coexist diverse interests. Lack of understanding of languages. It is not known in practice the shared vision or common view that the process requires. There is no leadership to convene, coordinate and execute. There are individual actions not articulated. Lack of distance and independence in representing actors. Management schemes closed. Lack of monitoring and evaluation. Prevailing logic of indicative plans of each institution, with reports of tasks performed to achieve goals of officials and government agencies. Just
challenges have executed written on pages 33 and 34 of the government document "Strengthening Disability Public Policy and Social Mobilization" (yellow book), much more would have advanced. Of the four currently identified to form public policy in a conflict, the process remains in the first: formulation. What happened to the implementation of the operating manual in 2001 with IDB resources? What happened to the conceptual foundations of public policy formation (blue book)? What about regulatory developments made? Actors
governmental coordination skills, remain distracted by the implementation of partial actions and concerted unarticulated.
The public policy issue of disability has been customized in the technical authority of the government sector and there are those who defend it as their own case against the eyes of other actors. There inclusive attitude, essence of public policy as the book cover reads yellow tripartite action must be concerted. The same document, with limited edition so few in the audience have read, undermines the establishment of citizen organization and civil society, to which signal as disorganized and weak.
coordination assigned to the Ministry of Social Protection for the public policy process, it is not clear to those involved. The government recently learned that the National Disability Advisory Council is advisory and not receiving reports of accomplished facts. The scenarios are cross accomplished facts presented for validation.
The exercise is simple: Just visit the "yellow book" Public Policy as a result of a process with government resources, and verify what has been completed on what was entered. The result is overwhelming and irrefutable: There is a process
forming public policy with partial pedagogical actions. Missing inclusive attitude to intersectoral action materializes. Everyone, starting with the public payroll technicians in the area should be clear.
disqualifies and control, disinformation and rule
In the current situation of Colombian social and political process is in vogue practice marked a dangerous, unpleasant and nothing intelligent to play the game of good and bad. The living spirit of the infamous Joseph McCarthy. In this space of free expression, we always start from the view that the public is built with all-inclusive processes.
orders are known veiled, hidden, failure to disclose facts of the case and to restrict public information under the guise of "inaccuracies." A lack of communication and information policy in the process, a feverish fascination rumor and broken phone as the only corridor dissemination channels. There are tax attitudes with accomplished facts that undermine credibility.
As Wikipedia: for everyone
A pedagogical exercise in the information society through the Internet, uses an analogy about how to develop public policy process. All are building the largest Wikipedia encicopledia Internet. All contribute, we all feed, all the validate and monitor all content that has not false. The tool fits all.
There is no guarantee greater legitimacy and compliance verification of a real and effective public policy that the citizen. Governments pass, the are temporary staff, private contractors have particular interests, the only thing that remains and does not lose its status as the citizen. He should check the accounts. He ensures the continuity of the process. Why exclude and not empowered? We must remember that everyone, no specific clothing in our first condition of social partners in the state of law, we are citizens. Public policy is the commitment of all for the benefit of all.
As long as an imaginary inclusive, not possible. So the absence of the state, will require more reality television commercial to sell illusions to those who aspire only to dream of effective citizens realize their rights. We must think and act for all, not be bystanders in social processes. <> DISNNET.
